Yes this. Is the surgeon who will be operating on friday. Its Exciting Technology that is basically a little microchip we implant in the eye. Blind people that are affected by everything like this because those are thanks to this. Backlight in the healthy i the photo receptors in the retina converts light into electro chemical impulses that are sent through the optic nerve and into the brain condition such as retinitis pigmentosa can stop the photoreceptors from working properly the argus 2 bypasses these damaged photo receptors using a miniature video camera that sits on the patients glasses this camera sense wireless signals via a video processing unit to an implant which has been surgically placed on the damaged retina the implant then emit small pulses of electricity which travel along the optic nerve to the brain which learns to interpret these pulses as visual patterns when you begin to question they do not understand what theyre seeing is an artificial vision so they have to out with the pattern of light we send them because its not the vision we have but what will you still.

Cannot show you what i see here are called friends brain has to learn to process this as if you touch it and that will take time so you just try to live and you will see and hear on the screen theres an approximation of what the camera is if you come here to move around friends. I see myself on the computer. He sees the peaks but this gives us a list overworked of what it means my brain so i thought. You know its been asleep for a while its time to wake up. A huge part of the process for fred is to practice with a device so that his brain can learn to understand the signals its receiving 4 months after it was 1st switched on im excited to see how hes getting on and i think ive prayed.
