the raising of funds for what will be Lions as the Utah known Eye which will be Reasearch Laboratory housed in that facility The challenge the sum is raise Lions to the Utah to of $650000 as matching funds to secure a federal grant from the National Eye Institute in that amount to finance this special research laboratory Howard Roundy of the Hinckley Lions Club is a member of the finance committee to raise funds for this important research lab These research laboratories are going to have a significant impact due to the nature of the project It will be comprised of individuals who are trying to understand the mystery of vision with those who will be working on human brain electrode implantation The overall project is to be able to allow people to see who have useless eyes by completely bypassing the eyes This can be done by implanting electrodes into the brain and creating sion by using sophisticated video cameras to record information and pass these electrical impulses to the brain The hallmark of this research will be in determining how the electrodes can be implanted and more importantly pattern the video cameras after normal eyes to allow vision in those who are hopelessly lost This goal is feasible and possible Electrode implantation has been carried out at the University of Utah and recruitment of specialists who have We done this elsewhere is underway have a research team second to none anywhere in the world to carry out this goal Truly this will allow us to carry out the plea of Helen Keller to be “knights of the blind”!
