eyereview asked:
Macular degeneration research and the artificial retina. Vision loss from retinal diseases including macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa may be treated in the future with an artificial or bionic eye.
Check out RP International’s Channel and join its “Fight Against Blindness and Macular Degeneration”
this was posted a year ago…… how far along is the research and where is this being conducted
Thanks for this post
This can’t come quick enough for me
possibly in the future instead of glasses it will be contact lenses that recieve the light or implants. the energy could be made from the glucose the body has. that would be totally awsome. i hope that this research goes well. i would love to take a field trip there.
The Schepens Eye Research Institute affiliated with Harvard Medical School is doing good work in this area
there are also other devices for blind people. i think there was something related to the tongue which was described in my “introduction to psychology” book, edited by Passer and Smith…
Where is this available? How much does it cost?
The device discussed in this video is experimental and not yet available to the public. For more information on who is eligible for a retinal implant please visit eyereview . com
Who is a candidate for this treatment and when will it be available?
