A microchip the width of a pencil eraser shows promise in eye repair.The microchip implant replaces the dead rods and cones. The implant is dotted with several thousand micro-photodiodes, which react to light and produce small electrical impulses in parts of the eye’s retina.
“The good thing about this device that we’re using is that it doesn’t have any wires to it," Narfstrom told LiveScience. "So it’s like a small disk that is very inert and not so traumatic to the eye that we slide into the retina.”
Hyper-resolution, multi spectrum with night vision overlay available for christmas 2012.
