Patent Yogi
The invention uses sensors that pick up electrical signals from the ciliary muscle of the eye responsible for focusing. The signals are then used to control electro-active optics such as liquid crystals deposited on the contact lens. The optical power of the contact lens is thus adapted according to the viewing intention of the wearer …

With this new development we are finally able to use CRISPR to edit regular adult cells, giving hope to treat formally incurable diseases.
Healing the blind is only the beginning for this technology. The scientists are also looking into treating muscular dystrophy, hemophilia and cystic fibrosis.

To combat retinal degeneration, healthy fetal retinal sheets have been successfully transplanted into both rodent models and humans, with synaptic connectivity between transplant and degenerated host retina having been confirmed. In rodent studies, transplants have been shown to restore responses to flashes of light in a region of the superior colliculus corresponding to the location of the transp
