Built by the implant, which helps blind people see
Nov 27, 2010
It became known that the Protocols of the Royal Society published a study that was developed by a team of researchers from Germany. They have developed a new retinal implant, the aldehyde form of retinol. This implant is installed in three people who were deprived of due to some reasons, and he has helped these people to discern the outlines and determine the shape of objects.
The result of a stunning, one of blind people could even identify and find items that were placed before him on the table. Also, he turned to move independently around the room, approach people and even to distinguish some shades of gray. This device was developed by the Institute of ophthalmologic research and Tyubingemskim University together with Retinal Implant AG. This is undoubtedly a great advance in ophthalmic prosthetics because of anything like blind people could not dream. This invention could completely change the lives of more than 200,000 people around the world who have become blind due to a hereditary eye disease or retinitis pigmentosa. Other than blind people some people use powerful spectacle for their eye disease
This disease occurs due to the fact that the receptors in the eye completely cease to function. Dr Eberhart Zrenner in his opinions published in the Protocols of the Royal Society, emphasizes that patients who had lost his sight in consequence of retinal degeneration, I have hope for partial recovery, after using the innovations can restore visual function and the person can reasonably well guided in their daily lives.
The implant, which has the name Subretinal implant placed under the retina, thus replacing non-functioning light receptor. This device uses a completely natural process of detecting light and create an image, it helps to enhance visual perception.
There are also other types of implants, they are called epiretinal implants. This species differs from the subretinal implant that they have outside of the retina, so they require the patient to wear the processors and the external device camera. In the documentary record of research there is a description of the implant, it marked properties, such as achieving clarity. This occurs because the implant is very closely connected with the light receptors.
Dr. Zrenner the following conclusions: "Our analysis - is not nothing but a direct proof of exactly what these devices can regain visual capability in people who have lost their vision due to retinitis pigmentosa. This is possible even if the results for clinical application will require the expenditure of large amounts of time. "
