So far, effects on humans due to strong magnetic fields are not well known, but are generally agreed to not cause too much trouble.

RP and MD leave parts of the retina intact, but many other disease do as well.  This one is unique in that they are stimulating the back of the retina (towards the brain, aka subretinal) as opposed to the front where the light enters (aka epiretinal).  This is seemingly odd since the degenerating part of the retina for these diseases (the photoreceptors) is in the back, so you are targeting the bad part as opposed to the good part of the retina.  Most other retinal prosthesis folks use the epiretinal approach.  It has its advantages though, and is able to stimulate through the bad areas, or use what's left of the photoreceptors.  Keep in mind the resolution of these is still very low, and hasn't improved much in the last decade.  It will be a long time before it gives these blind folks the ability to see at all similar to how we do.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Patrick #2]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2009 2:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MIT researchers tout progress with retinal implant - yes, it comes with a visor]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/mit-researchers-tout-progress-with-retinal-implant-yes-it-com/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/mit-researchers-tout-progress-with-retinal-implant-yes-it-com/</guid><description><![CDATA[Right there is a comment that is useful.
