Abstract

Bioelectronic lens (E-lens) systems for inducing neuroprotective changes in neurons, in particular the retina. A system may include a stimulating electrode configured to be placed on an eye or skin around the eye. The system may further include a return electrode configured such that voltage distribution is focalized to the eye and induced electric fields to an area of interest on the eye or on the skin around the eye are maximized. The electric fields provide neuroprotection and reinnervation.
