Vision is perceived to be the most important human sense. For people, this is the main tool for learning because we use it to get 80% of the information we need. However, over time, vision deteriorates or is lost due to age-related, genetic or unpredictable factors such as trauma. Therefore, it is very important for us to have technologies for effective treatment of diseases that lead to vision loss. This article introduces the reader to a new and promising method of treating eye pathologies using microrobots.
