When I came down to Dallas to help my dad (he was quite aged and needed medical assistance and seeing doctors) ... one of the things he just wasn’t taking care of was his eyes. He needed cataract surgery, and he wasn’t doing it. So, I got him in and both eyes were taken care of, one after the other.
AND THEN ... after they were done ... my dad said to me, “I didn’t know you looked like that!” ... he hadn’t even seen me clearly before that surgery ... :-) ...

these “bionic” stories are always crap. he probably can’t see crap. it all depends how many electrodes they implanted, and it would take THOUSANDS AND THIOUSANDS to see anything really. Last i heard they had wotked up to maybe a hundrerd or two....

Good God! Amaziing! I have an appointment with my Ophthalmologist next week.He's on the staff of Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary,one of the finest such hospitals in the world.I'll ask him what he thinks if this and what Harvard Medical School (MEEI is a teaching hospital of Harvard) is doing in this area.

these “bionic” stories are always crap. he probably can’t see crap. After you do some reading about the Mayo Clinic you might change your mind.
To: Gay State Conservative
no i won’t. i’ve been reading for 65 years. in that time you learn something about everything. howsabout you look up how many electrodes are in the “bionic eye”? and then come back and tell us all about it

My dad had his cataracts done. He went from needing glasses for seeing everything, to only needing drugstore readers for reading.
And it was a relatively quick, outpatient procedure.
He was happy as a clam.

Sorry, but I don't consider you an arbiter of truth and information since you're just a keyboard internet junky with no medical experience......
Get back to us once you've attained a medical degree.........

Howdy: MedicalDaily.com, "Iezzi found Zderad to be a great candidate for the prosthetic — it's not unlike a pair of large sunglasses — so he implanted 60 electrodes in Zderad’s eye. These electrodes are connected to a camera built into the glasses, and a wearable computer pack sends information to the electrodes, which then sends signals straight to the optic nerve. While Zderad can't see the details of people's faces, he can make out their forms and shapes." http://www.medicaldaily.com/pulse/bionic-eye-implant-gives-man-chance-see-his-wife-first-time-decade-323380
Howdy: With a big 60 electrodes he sees shapes, like maybe in the original game of Pong.
