People with age-related blindness could soon be seeing the world more clearly again — with an eye implant made up of tiny solar cells.
The PRIMA system can restore the central vision in people affected by geographic atrophy, which is a late stage of age-related macular degeneration.
It causes the gradual loss of photoreceptor cells leading to central blindness while leaving peripheral vision mostly intact.
The PRIMA combines , by US startup Science, a small eye implant with external glasses that transmit light and data to the device using embedded solar cells that convert light into electrical signals.
The implant is 2mm square and only 30 micrometers thick.
It contains microscopic electrodes and is surgically placed under the back of the eyeball called the retina where natural photoreceptors have been lost.
The system operates with a pair of glasses.
The glasses capture visual scenes through a small camera mounted at the front, and the images are processed and converted into near-infrared light signals, which are projected onto the implant through the eye’s pupil.
The implant absorbs this infrared light and transforms it into electrical impulses.
These impulses stimulate the remaining retinal cells, which then send signals through the optic nerve to the brain.
The result is the perception of shapes, letters, and objects in the central visual field, restoring the sight of the blind people affected by geographic atrophy.

FEATURE - Amplitude: Luxus-Yacht mit aufblasbaren Segeln
Un superbe yacht avec des voiles gonflables pourrait être le navire ultime pour un milliardaire soucieux de l'environnement Pictures must credit: M51 Concepts / Anthony Glasson A stunning superyacht with inflatable sails could be the ultimate vessel for an eco-conscious billionaire. The concept, named Amplitude, uses the sails , a new developing technology , to? reduce complex deck equipment normally associated with sail boats such as winches and halyards. They are also more easily computer controlled for automatic sailing and optimisation, stable in various wind conditions and offer a smooth balanced new way of sailing according to the yacht?s designer Anthony Glasson. The sails would be used in conjunction with a propeller drive as an assist to reduce fuel consumption but as the technology improves one day, they could be used alone on vessels this size.? The main propulsion is hybrid electric consisting of electric motor drive and battery banks charged by generators and/ or by the 266m2 of solar panels.? Glasson estimates? the 95 metre-long aluminium vessel would have a range of more than 5,000 nautical miles and a much lower carbon footprint than other boats of a similar size. There is accommodation for up to 12 guests with a layout comprising of a master suite, 2 VIP cabins, 4 twin cabins and additionally 2 staff cabins? The interior is designed to balance a futuristic, sci-fi aesthetic with more traditional materials such as wood and marble.
