A small clinical trial demonstrates that a combination of surgically implanted chips and augmented-reality glasses can help some patients with age-related macular degeneration regain the ability to read, showing promising results despite current limitations such as black-and-white vision and uncertain long-term effectiveness.
Researchers have developed solar-powered eye implants that could potentially help people with incurable eye diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration. The technology aims to power sensors and cameras in the eye using solar photovoltaic panels, eliminating the need for external charging. While still in the proof-of-concept stage, the idea shows promise in addressing the challenge of powering the implants and could significantly impact the treatment of eye diseases in the future.
