Paris — A historic breakthrough has been achieved at the intersection of science and medicine, where scientists have successfully facilitated the partial restoration of sight using computer chips implanted inside the human body. This technology offers a new ray of hope for millions worldwide who suffer from vision loss.
According to a report by Time Magazine, this advanced development involves tiny microchips that, once implanted, are proving instrumental in partially restoring lost capabilities, such as vision.
The Case of the 87-Year-Old Woman:
The report highlights the successful case of 87-year-old French woman Alice Shorton, who had lost her central vision entirely due to the age-related eye disease, Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).
Following the partial restoration of her sight, Alice Shorton has been able to start reading again, providing compelling evidence of the technology’s success.
The ‘Prima’ Technology:
This experimental technology was developed by the San Francisco-based company Second Sight under the brand name “Prima.” The procedure involves surgically implanting a small microchip onto the affected part of the patient’s retina, which then helps transmit external visual information to the brain.
This scientific achievement is a powerful testament to how technology can transcend biological limitations to improve the quality of human life.
