Blind patients detect light

A group of researchers has succeeded in getting two blind patients to perceive light again by installing electrodes in their eyes to stimulate their retinas, a senior researcher said Dec. 5. From April through July, the team at the Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine placed 7-sq.-mm platinum chips with 49 electrodes each behind the retinas of the eyeballs of two women who had lost sight more than a decade ago. The procedure had never been performed before in Japan. (Kyodo News)
