Anomalous text in page removed

edit

I removed this text from the bottom of the article. I've placed it here in case someone wanted it for something

Why did you remove this? Do you plan to move it for disambiguation purposes? A medical rather than extrasensory facet to the "second sight" search seems appropriate Second sight=replacement sight...

Scientific America; May,2012 p43ff. Bionic Eye, Synthetic photoreceptors will restore vision to the blind. "Another team has also had Zrenner's level of success in its clinical studies in California-based Second Sight has developed a retinal implant-Argus2_that also treats retinitis pigmentosa, albeit with a different approach, Argus 2 captures images of the world in a tiny camera mounted on a pair of glasses, converts those images to electrical impulses and transmits them to electrodes that sits on the surface of the retina, rather than being embedded in it... It produces a patchwork of bright and dark dots that patients must learn to interpret.

biological meaning

edit

Since 'sight' is biological, not merely metaphorical, I thought a biological usage of the term 'second sight' should be included in case someone comes to WP to look for its meaning. I included a citation, but someone didn't like citations on the page and unhelpfully reverted it. So the citation is here for anyone (understandably) needing more proof than an uncited claim. (No, it doesn't merit an entire WP article of its own.) [1] DKEdwards (talk) 08:36, 12 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
