Surgeons at Moorfields Eye Hospital have successfully implanted bionic devices in the retinas of two patients blinded by hereditary retinal disease.
A tiny camera mounted in a pair of glasses transmits a signal to an ultra-thin electrode implanted in the patient’s retina, allowing them to see spots of light and distinguish light and dark shapes.
Pioneering surgeon Lyndon da Cruz denied rumours that the patients were now undergoing extensive martial arts training after being recruited for a shadowy private foundation dedicated to fighting distinctly-shaped terrorists. He also said there was no truth whatsoever in allegations that the patients were being plagued by an elusive former test subject who had gone rogue and murdered his entire surgical team.
The press briefing was then cut short by loud alarms, followed by a hasty evacuation by heavily-armed but visibly nervous SWAT teams.
