bionic eye
Electronic vision prosthesis
A bionic eye is an electronic device that restores partial vision to people with severe visual impairment or blindness.
The technology typically involves a camera mounted on glasses that sends signals to electrodes implanted in or near the retina, stimulating remaining cells to create patterns of light: The bionic eye let her see shapes and movement for the first time in decades.
