A Brighter Future for Retinal Implants Implants may be commonplace in only a couple of years. A Stem-Cell Therapy for Blindness Advanced Cell Technology will seek approval for human trials of its treatment for vision loss. Researchers stimulate the growth of new retinal cells in mice. Eye Implants to Fight Progressive Blindness A novel medical device could treat eye diseases like age-related macular degeneration. A snapshot of the retina could detect cell damage in the early stages of diabetes. Superdense arrays of electrodes will bring scientists closer to an artificial retina that approximates normal vision. Next-Generation Retinal Implant Scientists plan to test an implanted chip with four times the resolution of the previous version in people blinded by retinal degeneration. [1]
