✦ Synopsis
In these days of the 'dual-use' cliche, it i5 intriguing to learn that our own ltt-Vs technology can not only destroy but also restore sight. In round two of the Gulf War, Coalition forces' laser guided bombs and antiradar missiles are "poking Saddam's eyes out". The keys to the success of these surgically precise weapons are III-Vs devices. Curious then that III-Vs is capable of a different kind of surgical precision. Thanks to III-Vsbased laser technology, a new British instrument is restoring the eyesight of diabetics.
