Implantable 'eye telescope' that magnifies vision by three times approved for use in patients

[anam_moon]

A miniature telescope that is implanted in the eye to solve sight problems has been approved for use in the US.

The new device is for people with an irreversible, advanced form of macular degeneration in which a blind spot develops in the central vision of both eyes.

The telescope replaces the eye’s nature lens and can provide an image that is magnified by almost three times.
