Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>An 88-year-old woman from the United Kingdom could not hide her joy after she was able to see following a bionic implant.<\/p>\n

After a lifetime of normal vision, dry age-related macular degeneration caused her to lose sight in one eye.<\/p>\n

The woman received the device which was developed by Pixium Vision in France.<\/p>\n

The research is supported by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Biomedical Research Centre at Moorfields and the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thrilled to be the first to have this implant in the country. I can now enjoy my hobbies of gardening, playing indoor bowls and painting with watercolours. I truly hope that many others will benefit from this too,\u201d the unidentified woman said in a statement released by the hospital’s NHS foundation trust.<\/p>\n

Mahi Muqit, a surgeon at Moorfields eye hospital, said the success of the operation offers hope of restoration of sight to people affected with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe success of this operation and the evidence gathered through this clinical study will provide the evidence to determine the true potential of this treatment,\u201d Muqit said.<\/p>\n

The glasses, which are surgically connected through a chip in the glasses from the person\u2019s retina to the brain, captures the video, which uses artificial intelligence to process the data.<\/p>\n

The brain then interprets this signal as if it were a natural vision.<\/p>\n
