Second Sight 'Bionic Eye' May Help Blind See: Retinal Prosthesis Shown To Restore Partial Vision
ScienceDaily (Oct. 21, 2009) — A new artificial retina, an array of electrodes implanted on the back of the eye, has been found to restore partial vision to totally blind people. In a study focused on 15 blind participants who had the implant for at least three months, 10 of the patients subsequently tested were able to identify the direction of moving objects.
