Experts hail ‘remarkable’ success of electronic implant in restoring sight

A revolutionary electronic eye implant, thinner than human hair, has successfully restored sight to people with incurable blindness from age-related macular degeneration. In trials involving 38 patients, 84% regained the ability to read letters, numbers, and words after receiving the sim card-sized Prima device implanted under their retina. The breakthrough technology uses special glasses and artificial intelligence to convert visual information into electrical signals sent to the brain, marking what experts call a "new era" in artificial vision.
