To answer this question, The From Rome Blog republishes, with permission the Essay by Frank Dougan, on Edwin Muir’s Knox: an exposé of the person and life of the “Reformer” of the Catholic Church in Scotland in the 16th century. Edwin Muir’s, John Knox.  by Frank Dougan I found a copy of Edwin Muir’s book ( John Knox ) at The Andersonian Library within Strathclyde University where I was studying Scottish History. I tried to obtain this book from City of Glasgow Libraries to no avail. First published by Lowe and Brydone Ltd.

Researched by Francesco Josepa Dougan. 8 February 2020 Scientists have successfully implanted an artificial eye in two patients that have given them a limited vision. The eye uses images from a tiny camera mounted on the wearer's glasses which are then fed to a series of electrodes at the back of the eyeball. Two patients now have the Second Sight Argus II implants inserted and working normally after operations at London's Moorfields Eye Hospital. Lyndon da Cruz, a consultant retinal surgeon, said: 'Moorfields is proud to have been one of only three sites in Europe chosen to be part of evolving this exciting new technology. 'The devices were implanted successfully in both patients and they are recovering well from the operations.
