Artificial Cornea Saves Eyesight Artificial Cornea -- Eyesight

Recommended Posts

Louis braille and Helen keller will be some of the few persons who will be happy with the advancement in technologies now.

 

"Artificial Cornea Saves Eyesight".

This is the news article i studied recently. Advancements like this make things better. So definitely there is hope for those having problems with eye sight. Though awareness with respect to "Eye Donation" is spreading, the ratio of donors to people who need them is in a mismatch.

By connecting a camera to an array of electrodes that stimulate the sensitive nerves inside the mouth - a pixel of light is translated into a slight pinch - scientists can literally retrain the brain.
