It is a ruinously saddest moment when a blind person realizes that he can not see the sun, but with the help of electric eye developed by by a Harvard-M.I.T. research team, this electric device enables the blind people to see the light. Such a magical device that might endow enough vision to recognize faces, even to discern emotional expressions. Finally, it may be possible for the blind to read magnified text as well.
This microchip that could help blind people acquire partial eyesight. Though it will not fully restore normal vision, it will let a blind person recognize faces and navigate a room without any assistance. The chip, which is encased in titanium to prevent water damage, will be implanted onto a patient's eyeball. The patient will then wear a pair of eyeglasses equipped with a tiny camera that transmits images directly to the chip, which in turn sends them to the brain.
