Bionic Eye Project test results! Science is cool stuff ain't it? =o
 

Source. Beware, creepy image within! =I

Well it seems the Aussies are experimenting on treatment for the blind. This early, early treatment would only work for folks with their optic nerves intact. The article is optimistic that in the future it'd be possible to do direct brain stimulation to help folks lacking the nerves.

This little paragraph gave me a little smile =) Good to see there's hope in giving blind folks the ability to see, even if limited.

The image still looks pretty damn invasive to me. Looks painful as heck. Good news for those with sight problem though. From how this is going, it seems like no one would even need glasses anymore in the future. =o

That's lasic surgery that'd do away with glasses. This is intended to help folks who can't really see anything period. Won't give them miracle 20x20 vision but it'll give them primitive means of sight.

Good to see they're making progress in this field. Now, I wonder what we could do to help the deaf...

The future is underway!

I'm kind of wondering how much anesthetic they had to use to knock out the person (if that was an option). That eye socket's elasticity is getting pushed to the limit right there.
