	Blind man regains sight after 30 yrs with bionic eye's help Posted on Friday, January 22 @ 13:33:22 CST by admindon reprint from Zee News Limited London: In a ray of hope for millions of those who cannot see, a blind man, who underwent a "bionic eye" implant trial at a British hospital, has partially regained vision thirty years after losing his sight. Peter Lane (51) from Stretford is one of the 32 people who participated in an international trial of 'bionic eye' at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital earlier this year. Peter, who lost his sight to a degenerative genetic disease in his mid-twenties, can now read simple words with the help of the implant. The device allows him to see the outline of objects as a series of dots of lights and helps him in reading also, Daily Mail reported. "It was an amazing feeling after not being able to see anything to be seeing letters and words on a special screen. I was there reading dad, mat, cat," Peter said. "I'm just reading small words at the moment and they (doctors) try us with smaller letters each time. It's a start and they've said they will get me a screen so I can read at home," he said. Peter said now he feels more confident and independent when he goes out. "The images I see move and that takes a bit of getting used to, but I can see cars — they look like cotton wool. It's exciting to be part of the trial," he said.
