Light Sensitive Nanoparticles Bypass Dysfunctional Photoreceptor Cells

Here, researchers introduce light sensitive nanoparticles into the retina that can in principle provide the basis for a more refined artificial substitute for normal vision. Based on the results of the electrode grids, one would expect the result to be a view of the world painted in glowing […]

The useful part

Here, researchers introduce light sensitive nanoparticles into the retina that can in principle provide the basis for a more refined artificial substitute for normal vision. Based on the results of the electrode grids, one would expect the result to be a view of the world painted in glowing […] Recall that direct stimulation of retinal cells by grid electrodes implanted in the retina has been used to produces a poor substitute for actual vision, but a substitute that allows blind people at least some capacity to navigate and even read.
