While we usually consider the eye to be a single element, it does, in fact, have a number of smaller parts each which play a distinct role in helping us see. The retina covers more than half the interior surface of the eye and can be described as the light-sensitive layer that converts light into optic signals that are then carried to the brain. Retinal detachment is a serious condition that causes the retina to be separated from the supportive tissue. If not treated immediately, it could lead t...more

Retinitis pigmentosa is a rare, inherited degenerative eye disease that causes severe vision impairment.
Symptoms often begin in childhood. They include decreased vision at night or in low light and loss of side vision (tunnel vision).
There's no effective treatment for this condition. Wearing sunglasses may help protect the remaining vision.

Retinal detachment is an emergency eye condition in which the retina at the back of the eye gets separated from the surrounding tissue and pulls away from its normal position. The retina acts as a light-sensitive wallpaper in the eye, providing a lining for the inside of the eyewall and sending visual signals to the brain. As the retina can't work properly under these conditions, one can permanently lose vision if the detached retina is not repaired immediately.

This device provides a sense of hearing. It does not amplify the sound like normal hearing aids. It stimulates the specialized nerve cells in the hearing sense organ (cochlea). It has many advantages and is currently more useful than your average hearing aid.

A cochlear implant is an electronic device that is used to restore hearing ability in people who suffer from hearing loss due to inner ear damage. Unlike hearing aids which amplify sounds so people with hearing loss are better able to perceive them, cochlear implants directly transmit electronic sound signals to the auditory nerve. They work by compensating for damaged cochlea, the part of the inner ear that converts sound waves into neural impulses which are perceived by the brain.
