The Magic of Rekindling Her Love of Reading
In a world weary from woes and wars, it’s a hope-giving experience
to read about one of the most historic medical advances of our time.
It’s not a parable. It’s about reading and Sheila Irvine, an avid reader
till macular degeneration robbed her of something dear: her vision.
In this radical eye plant trial, medics inserted a microchip under retinas.
Once matched with video-recording glasses, the chip was able to send
signals via the retinal and nerve cells into the brain. Effect: sight restored!
For 84% partakers, the apparatus aided them to read again. Think of Irvine
rekindling her love of reading thanks to this “revolution in artificial vision”.
