It's all part of Mr. Therrien's surreal but highly functional vision, which can inspire an Alice-in-Wonderland sense of both vertigo and wonderment.
Promising treatments now undergoing testing for these conditions include gene therapy, which restored functional vision in children and young adults with retinal disorders who were previously blind, and therapies using retinal cells derived from embryonic stem cells for Stargardt's and age-related macular degeneration.
Two other cases involved a lorry driver with functional vision in only one eye who received a waiver from federal regulators allowing him to drive, but was fired anyway; and a car mechanic whose blood pressure debarred him from meeting federal standards for driving a truck, and so lost his job as a mechanic which also included some driving chores.
The Argus II is intended to provide partial restoration of functional vision.
SUCH PREWIRING MAY HELP the Prakash children gain functional vision in the months following surgery, Amedi speculates.
Subretinal, epiretinal, and other retinal prostheses implants are currently designed to restore functional vision in retinal degenerative diseases.
To determine the change in functional vision that occurs with cataract surgery in a group of monocular patients compared with a group of binocularly sighted control subjects.
To compare clinical outcomes, functional vision, and spectacle freedom in patients 70 years or younger with bilateral ReSTOR (Alcon Laboratories) or ReZoom (Advanced Medical Optics) intraocular lenses (IOLs).
To develop a novel age-appropriate measure of functional vision (FV) for self-reporting by visually impaired (VI) children and young people.
The functional results of the surgical treatment were measured and the assessment of functional vision pointed to the areas of abilities in need for rehabilitation.
From theoretical modeling, it is estimated that a device with approximately 1000 electrodes could give good functional vision, i.e., face recognition and reading ability.
