No, this is not a video from *Deus Ex*—though it certainly looks and sounds like one to me. Scientists from the US, UK, and Israel have developed a minimally invasive [procedure](http://www.nano-retina.com/?ref=killscreen.com) to implant a chip that restores vision to people suffering from macular degeneration.

> ‘Bio-Retina incorporates various nano-size components in one tiny, flat implant, approximating the size of a child’s fingernail,’ say the company which manufactures the device, Nano-Retina.  
>  
> ‘Its simple 30-minute implant procedure requires local anesthesia, a small incision and ‘gluing’ of the device to the damaged retina,’ says the company.  
>  
> ‘Return of sight is anticipated to be instantaneous. Recovery time is estimated at up to one week.’
