Abstract
Advances in imaging, neuroscience, genomics and physical optics have enabled us to understand more and more precisely the mechanisms of retinal degeneration, and to develop innovative treatments. By bringing together the views of caregivers, researchers and patients, Alain-José Sahel introduces us to a medicine that is both more technological and more individualized, making it possible today to envisage visual restoration far from the fantasies and dangers of augmented man, and without ever forgetting that neither the eye nor the human being are machines.
