Bionic Retinas Give Patients Sight

Posted by chrisd on from the implants-don't-poop-as-much-as-seeing-eye-dogs dept.

The Noof writes " Yahoo News is running a story about patients who have been given partial sight thanks to implants of silicon-based bionic retinas. " The article notes that the implant is having a "rescue effect" on the other components of the retina, restoring cells around the implant and making them useful again." Amazing stuff.
