Artificial Intelligence is Helping Restore Vision

According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 285 million people are visually impaired, with 39 million living with blindness and the other 246 million having low vision. In a world of modern technological advancements, visual impairment has been the subject of much medical research. Perhaps the most notable among these are those that use artificial intelligence (AI), specifically through machine learning. Google's DeepMind has been working with the UK's National Health Service to do ophthalmology research.
