Elizabeth Goldring, a senior fellow at MIT's Center for Advanced Visual Studies and the brain behind the whole concept has created this $4,000 machine out of her 10 years of research. Goldring has simply refurbished the traditional 'scanning laser opthalmoscope', or SLO to create the seeing machine.
