UK scientists have successfully implanted an artificial eye in two patients that has given them limited vision.

Sounds promising!

really a great news!

That link is broken for me. Anyways, shouldn't the title be "sight," not "site."

[TechGuy]

Link still works for me. Maybe their site was down.

[ferrija1]

Now it's working.

That's amazing! I wish I knew what their vision is like with those cameras.

That's a good news!

Seeing as my husband is blind, this is very good news. If they can make an "eye" that works with one kind of blindness, they may be able to make one for others.

I sure hope so, Nika! Blindness runs in my family (as a result of www.sticklers.org). I've had several detached retinas, but I hope they have something like this ready if I ever need it!

yea i saw somethign about this a while back on the science channel
they showed an example of what it would look like for people with this implanted and it wasnt that great but they could make out shapes and shadows

[TechGuy]

If the theory works and they can get them a blurry picture of shapes, I suspect a more useful one isn't too far off. Maybe one with nightvision, too!
