Artificial Intelligence as a way of Overcoming Visual Disorders: Damages Related to Visual Cortex, Optic Nerves and Eyes [Link]

16th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence (DCAI), Ávila (Spain) June 2019

Blindness is a disability in which the person got interference with the visual system. In this paper, we studied 18 different diseases. Then categorize the different types of damages to the visual system into three categories which are the brain damages, damages to the eyes and the damages occur to the sensory neurons carrying data. Then suggest possible engineering solutions for each one. Using deep neural networks in order to do the almost same process as the brain does, the developed devices that can be replaced by the vision of the eyes, and also making artificial new connections to cover the attenuation of the sensory neurons carrying data from the eyes to the brain. We are looking forward to overcoming this disability using artificial intelligence apart from medical care. However, we are not denying the importance of medical science but suggesting that new engineering technologies can push up the limits and open new doors to the dead ends. In order to make this dream come true, we need to do lots of studies and will face many more challenges. Some of them are listed in this paper.
