Woman receives Artificial Eyes

Cheri Robertson recently received surgery that allowed her to see, even though previously she was blind. The procedure, performed at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine, is the first to reverse blindness in patients without eyes. A camera on the tip of Robertson's glasses sends signals to a computer that's strapped around her waist. The computer then stimulates electrodes in the brain through a cord that attaches to the head.
