Tech inspired by Hubble telescope restores eyesight
Tech inspired by Hubble telescope restores eyesight, NASA\'s telescopes are not just helping us look into the dark deep universe but have inspired surgeons to restore the eyesight of the elderly.
Washington: NASA's telescopes are not just helping us look into the dark deep universe but have inspired surgeons to restore the eyesight of the elderly.
Phyllis Price, a 79-year old woman can see again after mini magnifying glasses inspired by the Hubble Space Telescope were placed inside her eyes.
Price had suffered from macular degeneration for years and had not even been able to recognise members of her own family for years.
"The difference in my sight is amazing. I lost all my confidence I could no longer read or sew and could only recognise people by voice," Phyllis was quoted as saying.
During the operation, two lenses, 2mm apart, were placed into Phyllis' eyes. The tiny telescopes inserted in her eyes, magnified the images and also directed them away from diseased parts of the eye and onto healthier areas.
