Bionic eye is a device that can provide sight-detection of light. Researches working for the Boston Retinal Implant Project have been developing Bionic eye implant that could restore the eye sight of people who suffer from age related blindness. It is based on a small chip that is surgically implanted behind the retina, at the back of the eye ball. Ultra thin wires strengthens the damaged optic nerve. The user should wear special eye glasses battery powered camera and a transmitter.
