Artificial Vision for the Blind

Posted by michael on from the amazing-grace dept.

castanaveras writes "Canadian doctors implanted an artificial eye into a blind man - it performs well enough for him to be able to drive (admittedly in an empty parking lot)." We've done lots of previous stories about bionic eyes.

    What we REALLY need are "X-Ray" eyes to see through things.

    i think the advancements they have made in the last 20 years on vision is completely amazing. I myself wear glasses and do not have the best vision. I think it is very encouraging that there may be better surgeries and options for when i get older, before i completely lose my vision!
