Artificial Retinas Restores Sight
Nelson Hernandez III
Scientists and researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have recently developed an artificial retina that could restore perfect vision to the blind. They plug it directly into optic nerve and stops progressive diseases witch can eventually lead to blindness unless it is treated immediately. Some drugs are proven to slow the process down, but when the cells are dead, they cannot be replaced. Implants usually cannot restore the sight very well and could only detect a few colors like yellow and grey. With this new artificial retina, sight can be restored to near perfect!
