New Scientist - 'Bionic eye' may help reverse blindness

New Scientist - 'Bionic eye' may help reverse blindness:
"A 'bionic eye' may one day help blind people see again, according to US researchers who have successfully tested the system in rats.

The eye implant - a 3-millimetre-wide chip that would fit behind the retina - could be a dramatic step above currently available technology, says the team at Stanford University, California, US."
