Second Sight Argus II Artificial Retina Approved For Use

Second Sight Argus II Artificial Retina Approved For Use

This could be a life changing and historic moment for a number of blind patients in the world: the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of an Artificial Retina that could help a specific group of vision-impaired patients to recover a partial vision. The principle of the Artificial Retina works like this: the retina is basically the eye's “light sensors”, and when it is damaged, the light information isn't received, and therefore it cannot be transmitted to the brain.The Argus II Artificial Retina uses electronic light sensors (a camera) that performs the function of the retina.
