WEBArtificial vision can restore sight to the blind. In common forms of retinal degeneration, notably macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa, photoreceptors cells are lost, but retinal output neurons typically survive. To restore sight, a camera captures light from the object and translates digital images into electrical signals.
