In the first round of tests, the implant successfully increased the visual field and acuity. The next step is to test the implant's longevity and how the pixels behave.

Photovoltaic pixels are much smaller than electrodes so more pixels can fit on the implant thus producing a better simulation.

Overall all Argus II subjects performed better with the system ON rather than OFF.

The results showed that there was a significant difference with a p-value less than 0.05 for both the sock sorting and the sidewalk tracking. For the walking direction, about 67% performed better with the system on.
