Blindness Overcome: Vision Restored with Implant

Blindness has been overcome - scientists have fully restored vision to patients for the first time in history using an implant. The Prima implant was placed in 38 patients who lost their central field of vision - as a result, all of them were able to read and clearly recognize faces. On average, patients were able to see 23 letters on a chart, with a maximum improvement of 59 letters. Scientists are currently working on bringing the implant to the market.
