It is an object of the invention to provide a vision regeneration
assisting apparatus capable of assisting in vision regeneration without
making a system structure complicated.In the invention, a vision
regeneration assisting apparatus for regenerating a vision of a patient
going blind by a disease of a retina includes a photosensor embedded in
the retina of an eye of the patient and converting an optical signal into
an electric signal, photographing means for photographing an object to be
recognized by the patient, image processing means for carrying out an
image processing to extract a feature with respect to an image of the
object obtained by the photographing means, pulse light forming means for
forming a luminous flux into a pulse light to induce a vision, and
irradiating means provided before the eye of the patient and applying the
pulse light toward the photosensor so as to be formed as an image
processed by the image processing means.
