Blindness Can Be Cured -Sina Pedram-26 oct 25

A group of blind patients can now read again after receiving a transformative implant behind the eye. The surgeon who placed these micro-chips in five patients at London’s Moorfields Eye Hospital described the international trial’s results as “astonishing”. The technology targets geographic atrophy (GA), an advanced form of dry age-related macular degeneration.

Behind closed eyelids, a faint light of hope stirs anew. Sheila, a seventy-year-old woman long lost to darkness, can now, thanks to a chip smaller than a fingertip, read, solve puzzles, and see the world not only with her eyes but with her newly brightened heart. This is not merely a personal miracle but an echo of a wider revolution—one in medicine where artificial intelligence, robotic surgery, and cutting-edge technology promise a new world. A world in which doctors may stand beside their patients from thousands of miles away, through wires and pulses.

Yet beneath this hope lies a bitter truth: since the Second World War, healthcare has increasingly been commodified, transformed from a universal right into a glittering luxury displayed in the showrooms of multibillion-dollar pharmaceutical giants. Medical budgets shrink while military spending soars. Tanks, missiles and fighter jets now matter more than hearts, kidneys or human sight. This brutal imbalance not only mocks morality—it endangers the very survival of justice.

Is there truly “no money”? A fraction of the cost of a regional war—say, in Gaza—could restore sight to millions, make cancer treatable, and save infants from preventable deaths. Technologies that gleam in laboratories today could, if freed from profit, build a more humane world. Science imprisoned by the market is no longer science; it is an instrument of domination.

Healthcare must be free—because every human must be free to see, to breathe, to live. The excuse of “no funds” in a world that pours billions into the manufacture of death is a lie that must be exposed. Each medical breakthrough is but a small window onto the human horizon of an inhuman age.
