At first glance, the concept of a bionic eye, also known as a visual prosthesis, may sound like something taken straight from a science fiction story. However, it is now an extraordinary reality. A bionic eye is an artificial visual device implanted in the eye of individuals who have lost their vision due to degenerative diseases or retinal damage. It works by capturing images through a miniature camera and converting them into electrical signals. These signals stimulate the remaining healthy cells in the retina, allowing the patient to perceive patterns of light and shadow.
