Bionic Eye Project

The Bionic Eye Project develops advanced visual prostheses designed to restore vision for people with severe blindness. It typically involves implanting a device containing a microelectrode array into the retina, which directly stimulates the remaining retinal cells with electrical signals. These signals are then interpreted by the brain as visual information, enabling users to perceive shapes, objects, or movement. The goal is to improve independence and quality of life for visual impairments caused by conditions like retinal degenerative diseases. The technology continues to evolve, aiming for higher resolution, better image processing, and wider functional use.
