A blind man who thought he would never be able to read again has had his vision partially restored after being fitted with a ‘bionic’ eye. Peter Lane, 51, is one of the first people in the world to have electronic receivers implanted into his eye which send signals mounted in a pair of glasses to the brain.
The technology has allowed Mr Lane, from Manchester, to see the outline of objects, such as doorways and furniture, and to read letters through a series of dots of lights for the first time in almost 30 years.

that’s amazing to be able to see again after being blind to everything for so long.
Wow, this really is amazing. Soon we could all have x-ray eyes? Just a thought that might need some serious amounts of funding…
Wow! The wonders of modern technology!
i heard about this…reminds me of “daredevil” comix.
This is so lovely. Technology is great.
At least he can watch/read about I’m a Celebrity…Get me out of here!,if he so chooses.
Must be wonderfull for those people. I wonder if they get tired by this new stimuli or such. But it’s probably not operating constantly, just now and then.
