New Microchip Helps Blind People See

Is it possible to create a bionic eye? This is a question that researchers in Germany may have the answer to. In a recent experiment, Eberhart Zrenner and his team of scientists implanted a microchip in the retinas of 11 blind patients to see if they could restore sight.

The results were remarkable, but could these results be repeated for patients with all kinds of conditions of blindness? Could we solve the common problem of macular degeneration that occurs with age?
