Artificial retina offers new sight for some blind patients
London AP reports Eric Selby, aged 68, who was completely blind for two decades, gained limited sight after an Argus II artificial retina implant. The device, developed by Second Sight, combines glasses with a camera and wireless computer to stimulate retinal cells and relay signals to the brain. Dutch regulators will decide soon on marketing the device in the EU, potentially making it the first artificial retina available for sale.
