NEWS: Two blind British men have electronic retinas fitted

The medical development has been amazing in the last century. Now, some blind poeple can get back a part of their vision, seeing shapes and shadows. Imagine that you have been blind, seeing only darkness, for years, and now, you return to the light world one day. What an amazing experience.

We can't imagine what a blind person can feel when he get back some vision. Someone can say "Only lights and shapes?". But, imagine you can't see nothing, it's very difficult for a blind person move around sites that they don't know. They can't see the environment. If you see, ONLY lights and shapes, you can see cars, doors, windows, people comming to you... You can move around with more independence.

Now it's only a matter of fact make the step from shadows to colours and more definition. But, if the governments still making cuts in investigation maybe we only can return to the prehistorical age.
