Also known as Biohacking, the idea that artificially enhancing the human body is a good thing, scientists are now able to implant tiny telescopes into the human eye.

In January DocInTheMachine had an article about using this technology in a cats eye.

Now it is being reported that they are officially implanting these telescopes into human eyes damaged by macular degeneration. Described as a brief outpatient procedure by the inventors at VisionCare Ophthalmic Technologies.
