spellman at the retina, the washington retina group here. and then that night he looked at my eye. he said you have a detached retina. we'll have to perform surgery tonight. so that night i came here to the washington medstar hospital center. surgery. i was stunned it was so serious. is there you had classic symptoms, floaters followed by flashing lights and followed by the symptom of the peripheral visional loss. the excellent optometrist made a diagnosis and sent you to me. we examined you here at the retina group of washington and found your eye was identical to the one in the diagram. you had a tear in the retina up here at 12:00. fluid was developing under the retina tracking to the center of your vision. sam: what if it had fallen? >> if it extended to the central vision you would h the retial detachment would not have been more difficult for me to fix but it would have been less likely to get your normal vision back as we did. but i felt we needed to do prompt emergency surgery. >> people go blind from this. >> if it's not repaired you will lose your vision. correct. >> this

you can have a completely blind retina.jump over and driver the output cells to fire, just like i was showing you in that picture. the problem is it is hard to check this in an animal. we've done this in mice. we can have them be blind mice like the song and they can track images. it is hard to do this in primates because there aren't blind monkeys and i cannot bear to blind a monkey just to test it. so we're just going to go -- if we get permission, we'll just go into humans. the beauty of working with patients is they are very motivated. if you meet a smart blind patient, you can work together. you can send the signals in, as long as it is safe, then we can get the feedback from them as to how well it is working. if we're sending very close to the same signals they would normally get, they should be able to see this. mice can track images. and we showed what it was like to reconstruct an image from the firing patterns of a totally blind retina and compared that to what happens with the use of standard prosthetic right now

about 10,000 in your central retina.fferent pattern of pulses would know it was a car or another pattern of pulses it would be a dog. so that's how the communication goes from image into your brain. so what i have been working on is that when a person gets a degenerative disease the photo receptors die and so no information can get in. and but the output cells, the cells at the end, they still work. and so the idea then is that if we can make a device that can interact with the output cells and send the code in then we could restore sight to the blind. it sounds dramatic. but i worked out to a large extent the code so i can make a device that can mimic that and send signals to the output cells and send them to a brain. so if we send it like a pattern of pulses that represented stripes the patient would see stripes. pattern of pulses that represents a face or talking face then a person would see that. we have done it in animals but not in humans yet. but i went to the fda three weeks ago and once i send the application in
