Dr. Kokame shares the news that his first bionic eye patient can see light.
At the end of 2015, Dr. Kokame was featured on local Hawaii news to update the Hawaii community on his first Argus II Bionic Eye patient. He was thrilled to share that she can now see light after years of blindness. “She was previously in total darkness. Now, she can actually see the light. She can actually follow a light, follow a line of light along a path, and she can tell dark versus light and different shapes,” reported Dr. Kokame.
