EYE PROSTHESIS IS THE FIRST TO RESTORE SIGHT LOST TO MACULAR DEGENERATION

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

PRIMA is an eye prosthesis that can restore functional sight to patients with advanced macular degeneration. It gives wearers the ability to perceive shapes and patterns, with most wearers regaining the ability to read a year after receiving the device. Wearers can adjust contrast and brightness and magnify their vision up to 12 times. The device currently only provides black-and-white vision, but researchers are working to produce a full range of grayscale.
