A blind man
from Minnesota has been able to see for the first time in 10 years after
doctors gave him a device they describe as a bionic eye.
The
68-year-old began losing his sight around twenty years ago. By 2005, he'd lost
almost all of his vision and had to stop working.
“Yes! It’s
an interpretation of the shape, of the light that’s flashing!”
But now Mr
Zderad is able to see again thanks to this groundbreaking procedure performed
by surgeons at the Mayo Clinic.
From an
intermittent flash he has to interpret the ways described in the contrast of
the image.
With the
help of the bionic eye, he can now make out shapes in human forms, including
his own reflection in the window. Mr Zderad was fitted with a second sight
implant which bypasses the damaged retina and sends light wave signals to the
optic nerve. He’d also had an electronic chip embedded in his right eye which
works in conjunction with the prosthetic device set in a pair of special
glasses.

Personal Opinion:
I just can
say, amazing awesome, incredible and that it’s one of the best invents of the
human I have ever seen!
I feel so
happy for the man and I hope he lives better now. I think that see suddenly
impacted him and at the same time he was so thankful with the doctors.
This great
innovation is for me a big step for de mankind and his development.
It shows to
the society how far the human main can reach and why it’s no dangerous do
experiments with the personas for help them. This is a line between this era
and the last.
I think
that we could bring inside of our bodies a lot of robotic prosthetic devices to
help us to live better. We’ll be a humanoids.
