Brief Summary:
This post-approval study is being implemented to monitor the use of Argus II System in a larger US population than available within pre-approval studies. An attempt will be made to include all eligible and willing subjects implanted with Argus II System in the United States.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Safety subjects have reached 2 years post-implant. [ Time Frame: 5 Years ]Adverse event rates with the main safety analysis performed when all visits completed
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Visual function [ Time Frame: 5 Years ]Visual function means how to the eye works (e.g. visual acuity). Visual function will be measured using the following test: Square Localization, Direction of Motion and Grating Visual Acuity (GVA).In addition to these tests, a photographic flash test will be performed with the System OFF only to determine if subjects' native residual vision is bare light perception or no light perception.
- Functional Vision [ Time Frame: 5 Years ]Functional vision means how subjects perform in vision-related activities of daily living. Function vision will be assessed using the Functional Low-Vision Observer Rated Assessment (FLORA). A utilization questionnaire will also be administered to track how subjects are using the Argus II System.
- Device Reliability [ Time Frame: 5 Years ]Device reliability will be measured by calculating the rate of implant failure over time.

| Ages Eligible for Study: | 25 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
| Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
| Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
| Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
Study Population
Age 25 years or older; both males and females; with severe to profound retinitis pigmentosa; with bare or no light perception in both eyes or with retinal response to electrical stimulation; with previous history of useful form vision
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Are adults, age 25 year or older;
- Have severe to profound retinitis pigmentosa;
- Bare light or no light perception in both eyes; if the patient has no residual light perception, then evidence of intact inner layer retina function must be confirmed;
- Have previous history of useful form vision.
- Aphakic or pseudophakic. (If the patient is phakic prior to implant, the natural lens will be removed during the implant procedure.)
- Patients who are willing and able to receive the recommended post-implant clinical follow-up, device fitting, and visual rehabilitation;
- Have consented to the implantation of an Argus II Retinal Prosthesis and subsequently consent to participate in this study;
- At the time of the Baseline Visit, do not suffer from non-ophthalmic serious adverse events (e.g. myocardial infarction, etc.) and
Exclusion Criteria:
- Ocular diseases or conditions that could prevent Argus II System from working (e.g. optic nerve disease, central retinal artery or vein occlusion, history of retinal detachment, trauma, severe strabismus);
- Ocular structures or conditions that could prevent the successful implantation of the Argus II Implant or adequate healing from surgery (e.g. extremely thin conjunctiva, axial length <20.5 mm or >26 mm, corneal ulcers, etc.);
- Ocular diseases or conditions (other than cataracts) that prevent adequate visualization of the inner structures of the eye (e.g. corneal opacity, etc.);
- Inability to tolerate general anesthesia or the recommended antibiotic and steroid regimen associated with the implantation surgery;
- Metallic or active implantable device(s) (e.g. cochlear implant) in the head;
- Pre-disposition to eye rubbing;
-
Any disease or condition that prevents understanding or communication of informed consent, study demands, and testing protocols, including:
- cognitive decline including diagnosed forms of dementia and/or progressive neurologic disease,
- psychiatric disease including diagnosed forms of depression;
- does not speak a principal language associated with the region, and
- deafness;
- Pregnant or wish to become pregnant during the course of the study;
- Participating in another investigational drug or device study that may conflict with the objectives, follow-up or testing of this study;
- Conditions likely to limit life to less than 1 year from the time of inclusion.
