Stevie Wonder to Implant Eye Chip?

Posted by CmdrTaco on Friday December 3, 1999 @02:58PM from the wouldn't-that-be-interesting dept.

chocko sent us an article about Stevie Wonder's Eye Chip. Now normally a Stevie Wonder story probably wouldn't make it on Slashdot, but this is actually about him implanting a chip into his eye in order to try to gain some of his sight back. I just thought that was kinda cool. Update: 12/04 12:02 by H :Thanks to Chris Griffin for updating the story.

Here are some links I found with more information on this 'chip' thing:
- The Retinal Implant Project useful interesting background on this or a similar operation
- An article on the same at ABCNews (in laymans terms)
- More info here
- Finally, a paper on the chip.
Most Links! :)
