Abstract

Objective: The aim is to demonstrate the changes in functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) of the brain in a patient with pigmentary retinal dystrophy of both eyes, which is the most often discussed topic in relation to the bionic eye. Patient and methods of examination: The authors report the case of a 63-year-old patient with pigmentary retinal dystrophy of both eyes.

The patient underwent a complete eye examination, including visual functions, photographs and functional magnetic resonance imaging. (FMRI). Results: Visual acuity of the right and left eye was 0.2 and 0.3 respectively.

Visual field of the right and left eye - concentric narrowing to 10 and 5 degrees respectively. Despite the above visual functions, the visual centre of the brain did not show any activity on FMRI.

Conclusion: Our work demonstrates that damage to the retinal cells is also associated with damag.
