This is just fantastic, and the interview was great! I hope that the whole process continues to move forward in a positive direction and that your wife actually will be able to experience the joy of sight, something which so many of us tend to take for granted. Very, very cool what science can do these days.......

This is fantastic! I'm not aware of any studies that attempted this on human subjects, so this is definitely cutting edge. Keep us posted!!!
