The article reports an advance in eyesight regeneration (optogenetics) research with optogenetics technology. The development of prism glasses in regenerative medicine, undertaken by Dr. Tomita, his laboratory and JIG-SAW, has raised the possibility of sophisticated visual regeneration. We will continue to dedicate our strength to this research and the development of eyesight-regenerating prism glasses to enable blind people to regain the light in their eyesight and see what is before them.
