Anti-blindness by telescope

A structured device such as the telescope will be implanted into the human eye with a loss of vision to help improve vision. The test was approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

Degeneration of spots is the main cause of blindness for people 65 years or older. Statistics show that in the United States there are about 10 million people with this disease. The attack on the center of the retina is particularly important for document reading, television viewing and human face recognition. Current treatments only slow down the aging process in the eye without actually improving vision effectively.

The implanted eye - sized pencil eraser - developed by the "VOT Center for Vision Care". The main component is two converging lenses contained in a small glass tube, which, when inserted into the eye, acts as a remote image-recording lens. This activity will connect to the cornea to amplify the image. However, taking this device will occupy a large area of the retina, while only the central part of the disease is threatened. This new device opens up a good future for those who suffer from vision loss due to aging.
