Researchers from the Doheny Eye Institute at the University of Southern California have announced that six patients are now able to detect light and motion thanks to a retinal implant. The findings were presented during the annual meeting of The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology.
Researcher Mark Humayun is reported in Wired News as saying that the implant, known as the Argus, will be commercially produced by Second Sight Medical Products. The researchers plan for the Argus to be available by early 2008. The cost is likely to be between $30,000 and $50,000 USD.
