After several years of research, the first e-sighted eye light in the United States have been planted to date to about sixty people blind in the world were able to partially restore their eyesight and to varying degrees.
These eye-called "Argos 2" and designed by Californian company "Sikund Cite Medical Brodakedz" composed of electrodes implanted in the retina and glasses fitted with a miniature camera.
It is supposed to follow the U.S. Agency for Food and Drug footsteps European authorities that have agreed to the present invention and Shopping "Argos 2" for the first time in the world.
Thanks to this eye, it may enable people with genetic disease retinopathy rarely regain their eyesight, note that the numbers estimated one hundred thousand people in the United States alone.
Brian explains Mick, one of the officials of the company "Sikund cite" electronic eye "allow stimulating this nerve directly through video signals and electrical charge is transferred wirelessly to 60 electrodes planted in the retina."
And says Grech Chen, director of research program retina at the National Eye Institute, which funded part of the research that "electronic eye has a promising future, but we still do a lot."
And also suggest that the research conducted on stem cells and gene technology and optical also promising. And photovoltaic technology allows genes genetically modified retinal cells to become sensitive to light again.
