How the bionic eye works
- Seeing the future: the bionic eyeThe bionic eye is a colloquial name given to a visual prosthesis—an electrical device that assists in restoring a sense of vision to the user.
- Bionic eye implant world first... a retinal implant which converts video images from a miniature video camera worn on his glasses.
- Artificial vision: what people with bionic eyes seeVisual prostheses, or “bionic eyes”, promise to provide artificial vision to visually impaired people who could previously see. The devices consist of micro-electrodes surgically placed in or near one eye, along the optic nerve (which transmits impulses from the eye to the brain), or in the brain.
- Bionic EyeThe objective of BIONIC EYE is the same as to restore visual signal to whom suffering from eye disease such as retinitis pigmentosa.
- Bionic Vision Technologies: A Closer Look at the Bionic Eye SystemBVT’s Bionic Eye System consists of a wearable device and visual implant similar in concept and design to that used by cochlear hearing implants.
