New Eye Surgery (Eye CochlearImplant) Technique in Cuba
A deaf adolescent from the Cuban province of Camaguey with pigmentary retinitis received an eye cochlear implant, free in this country.
The girl suffered from pigmentary retinitis, a visual illness that causes blindness due to the degeneration and death of photo receivers.
A medical team from Havana's Cira Garcia Hospital operated on the girl freely, although this kind of surgery is costly worldwide.
