Regaining lost sight

Researchers around the world are developing technology to help restore sight to the visually impaired. At Belgium's Catholic University of Louvain, Prof. Claude Veraart is working on a system that combines a small camera and an electronic device implanted behind the eye. The system is akin to a cochlear implant that aids in hearing.
