Isn't She Lovely?

Stevie Wonder may get his sight back.

These medical advances are just going to keep on coming. Will they say he's no longer human if he has a microchip implant?

A little word of caution. Retinal implant technology is still very much in the R&D stage. Some patients have been given the ability to see light and shadow and certain shapes. But sight as we know it is still several years away. Wonder has also not been able to see since infancy. It's a question as to how the visual processing parts of his brain will work. He may actuallu have to spend a long time learning how to see.
