Zebrafish eyed as answer to restoring sight of people with damaged retinas Zebrafish, the staple of genetic research, may hold the answer to repairing damaged retinas and returning ey... Read more
Neuroprosthetic device uses implant to project visual braille For the very first time researchers have streamed braille patterns directly into a blind patient’s retina, allowing him to read... Read more
Diabetic patients in particular may benefit from the device. In the operating room, surgeons can see inside the human body in real time using advanced imaging techniques, but primary care ph... Read more
Two neuroscientists have created a prosthesis that can partially restore the sight to blind mice. The device could eventually be developed for use in humans. More than 20 million people worl... Read more
A new type of retinal prosthesis Using tiny solar-panel-like cells surgically placed underneath the retina, scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine have devised a sys... Read more
“This is a solid step forward.” For the first time, scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have made early retina structures containing proliferating neuroretinal prog... Read more
