The process of restoring vision through a bionic eye involves a highly sophisticated surgical procedure. First, a small electronic device known as a retinal implant is placed inside the eye. This microchip functions by converting incoming light into electrical impulses, which are then transmitted to an artificial retina implanted at the back of the eye. The artificial retina replaces the damaged one, processes the received signals, and sends them to the brain via the optic nerve. This process allows the patient to recognize patterns of brightness and darkness, resulting in partial but meaningful vision restoration.
