Question:

Anyone ever heard of a lens implant at the back of the eye?

What does it do to improve vision? Is it effective?


Answers:

Do you mean an implant for cataract surgery? Or had you heard about retinal implants? You have had some good answers about cataract implants.

Retinal implants are an experimental treatment for blindness. Light sensitive electrodes are implanted in the retina and provide stimulation to the optic nerve. This is in very early stages of research and so far has been only effective in creating impressions of light or dark, not detail.
