Once a topic of folklore and science fiction, the notion of retaining vision to the blind is now much closer to becoming a reality than it ever was before. As the rise of microelectronics and microfabrication has given way to drastic improvements in the field of prosthetic devices. the developing technology has given rise to aplethora of approaches and designs to achieve said purpose. yet these visual prosthetics operate on the same premise: relying on intact neural circuitry whenever possible in order to take advantage of any intact sensory processing available [1]. Thus, lowering the need to deal with the complexity of the neural code for perception. However, as a direct consequence of that, it is highly unlikely that this technology will ever see the light for patients diagnosed with congenital blindness as they often lack a fully developed neural perception system. Although a functioning mechanism may very well be feasible, the rehabilitation of the blind and reintegrating them into society will continue to be a challenge against establishing this technology as a viable solution for the blind.
