[]: United Kingdom 73-year-old Rowan at 40 years old, suffering from retinitis pigmentosa, resulting in the complete loss of sight in both eyes, as long as 30 years, Ron is living in total darkness, unable to see anything. However, 7 months ago, United Kingdom-London-Moldovan fields eye hospital experts give him with a high-tech "Bionic eyes", blind as long as 30 years Ron finally miraculously to see the light.

This high-tech "Bionic eyes" was called "c/I, no. 2, ear," it is the United States of "second sight" company inventions developed. In the past few months, this kind of "Bionic eyes" has been around the world to test the use in patients who, to date, the world has 18 blind installed on this kind of "Bionic eyes".

"Ah, ear consists of 2" Bionic eyes works is the simulation capabilities of the human eye: absorb light, and then translate them into patterns, "Bionic eyes" to rely on in a pair of glasses on the micro-video camera images delivered to the patient's Visual nerve. First, install the glasses on the micro-video camera will shoot to digitize an image, and then wireless sent to already implanted in the eye of an ultra-thin sink. Then the receiver will send digital signals to a series of electronic impulses sent to install in the retina of an artificial retina, artificial retina composed by multiple electrodes. Then, electronic pulse will produce a reaction induced by retinal nerve, which through the optic nerve of the signal transmitted into his brain, the last in his brain to "image".

Now not only can you distinguish color Rowan, and also can engage in many basic housework, including washing, washing, etc., and that it is almost impossible.
