Dean
We can make the deaf hear, make the blind see, and replacement limbs that operate nearly as well as the real thing. But don't let anyone tell you that the world is changing rapidly...

Dean's World uses and recommends:
press releasearticle was about what the company is working on, not what they've already achieved.And even what it described is being useful for walking, not for playing the piano, dancing, or doing kung fu.
(And, incidentally, while cochlear implants can indeed restore hearing pretty well, the stuff that lets the blind see is still very primitive, and not enough to allow them to function for pretty important things like reading or driving.)
The world is changing rapidly, but not as quickly as you make it out to be.
As for restoring sight: there's more than one method in use, actually. But yes, you're right, depending on which type of blindness and which product you use, the results vary. But it happens that I'm old enough to remember when none of it was even vaguely possible.
And as for how fast I make things out to be: how fast would that be? Everything I said in my posting is the literal truth.
Not that long ago it would have been fatal.
