A blind man from Minnesota has been able to see for the firsty time in 10 years. The doctors provied him of bionic eye. This man is 68-year-old and he began losing his sight around twenty years ago because of a degenertive and incurable eye disease, so he loses his job in the 2005 because ha was not able to see enough, and every time his sight was worse. Now he is able to make out shapes in human forms. Mr Zderad was fitted with a seond sight implant which bypasses the damanged retina and sends light wave signal to the optic nerve and he has also an electronic chip embedded in his right eye which works in conjunction with the prosthetic decive set in pair of special glasses.
OPINION:
I think that's a great new beause it shows the advantadges of the new technology. But I do not think that this new technology will be able for everyone in a short period of time, it's only a solution for the richests mans. Although it's very unpleasant to have a bionic eye, because I think it can give you a lot of problems, as airports controlls, problems with the wather, or with the batttery, I think it's a great progress in the medicine ambit.
Words learned: bionic (electronic), degenerative (to get worse and worse), groundbreacking (new and grat), embed (to put something somewhere), in onjunction (together), prosthetic device (something which doctors give to replace an original body part).
