Miniature Telescope Eye Implants
Ain’t it amazing what clever people can do?
Israeli company Vision Care Inc has developed an Implantable Miniature Telescope that could sound the death knell to all age-related macular degeneration that causes vision loss. Currently in phase II/III clinical trials, results have been nothing short of positive. The prosthetic telescope works with the cornea to enlarge images up to 3x the actual size, reducing blind spots in vision impaired patients. The device is situated in the eye itself after a minor operation.
The future is an exciting place.

This is really amazing. Imagine what it can do for vision-impaired people when it finally hits the market. I hope that the tests would get done so it would be available soon.
It is. It’s just so hard to think of anything to say, I’m so amazed by this one. And, yes, for the vision impaired, extraordinary.
