Eye implant may reverse blindness: Replace light-sensitive cells in the retina of a damaged eye.

[Analog]

Current implants use chips that convert light into electrical impulses that are fed to the brain via the optic nerve.

The new device will work differently. It will be placed on a damaged retina and convert light into chemicals that will stimulate nerve cells.
