This is the retina-on-a-chip technology (credit: Fraunhofer IGB). Scientists in China have combined human eyes with artificial tissue to develop a retina - on - a - chip that can be used to detect the effects of drugs on humans . The researchers believe the technology can replace the use of animals and retina organoids in the eye drug detection process , which can often yield inaccurate results .
