Learning Retinal Implant System a success

Swiss-based Intelligent Medical Implants AG has made a medical breakthrough with the successful implants of their first-generation Learning Retinal Implant System on a couple of patients in December last year. The 50-electrode device’s main function is to replace the signal-processing functions of a healthy retina and provides input to the brain via the retinal cells and optic nerve. Hopefully further advances to this technology will be able to make the blind see one day. Via MedGadget
