Normal vision of either eye is not impeded in any way. "The strength of the FOCUS FS400 chip is that it allows us to accept nearly any graphical data signal," said Paul Zavracky, President and Chief Technology Officer of MicroOptical. Mr. Zavracky continued, "From VGA to SVGA to UXGA, the FS400 allows us to connect to any computer output and show the image."
