First bionic eye implant in the world

Nu merge la "Stiri Securitate" insa mi s-a parut ceva interesant de citit ce merita share-uit.

SURSA - BBC

Surgeons in Manchester have performed the first bionic eye implant in a patient with the most common cause of sight loss in the developed world. Ray Flynn, 80, has dry age-related macular degeneration which has led to the total loss of his central vision. He is using a retinal implant which converts video images from a miniature video camera worn on his glasses. He can now make out the direction of white lines on a computer screen using the retinal implant. Mr Flynn said he was "delighted" with the implant and hoped in time it would improve his vision sufficiently to help him with day-to-day tasks like gardening and shopping.

The Argus II implant, manufactured by the US firm Second Sight, has previously been used to restore some vision to patients who are blind as a result of a rare condition known as retinitis pigmentosa. The operation, at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital, is the first time it has been implanted in a patient with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) which affects at least half a million people in the UK to some extent.

La caz ca nu s-a observat, post-ul face referire la un articol extern (de la o sursa destul de credibila as putea adauga) si da, uneori jurnalistii folosesc un "wordplay" pentru a atrage cititorii.

Este intradevar "First bionic eye implant in the world" dar pentru o boala anume, dry age-related macular degeneration, care este "most common cause of sight loss in the developed world".

Daca pe unii nu va duce bibilica sa comentati tehnologia, posibile viitoare aplicatii, etc., si sunteti hateri, va rezumati la atat cat puteti: trolling.
