•Participants for our study will be drawn only from participants in the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System Dry AMD Feasibility Study led by Prof Paulo Stanga in Manchester (https://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT02227498). Therefore, participants must meet the inclusion criteria specified for this study. Broadly, this includes adult participants with the 'dry' form of macular degeneration without other eye problems that would preclude retinal prosthetic implantation.

•Participants will be subject to the exclusion criteria outlined in the linked study 'Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System Dry AMD Feasibility Study Protocol' (https://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT02227498).
•In addition, participants with contraindications for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will not be included in this study. Contraindications for MRI include the following:
•1. A cardiac pacemaker
•2. Operations involving implantation of metal or other implants that may not be MRI compatible
•3. A programmable hydrocephalus shunt
•4. Cochlear implant
•5. Fixed dental braces
•6. Injuries involving metal fragments or shrapnel
•7. Metal piercings that cannot be removed
•8. Certain medicinal patches incompatible with MRI
•9. Close relatives of the investigators
•10. Epilepsy/seizures
•11. Severe claustrophobia or discomfort maintaining a supine position in the MRI scanner
