Throw away those goggles and hand me an Arctic!

Don't get too terribly excited, just yet folks. But, here's some great news for all of us who have done some damage to our retinas.

First successful transplant of retinas made from embryonic stem cells - FierceBiotech

That's good news SBA, but I think I'll hold on to the old goggles for a little while longer.

Don't you worry, gentlemen. I'm not planning on being an experiment candidate any time soon. I'll be keeping mine as well.

Now, why can't we have retinas that work in IR and UV, already??

Multimode selectable wetware retinal implants... hmmm... I think you may be onto something!

 

[scumbagatheist]

It's even better than that...They're transplating retinal cells. All we need to do is program them for other wavelengths, and we'd see them just like a Mantis Shrimp!

Why stop at just matching the mantis shrimp?
