This is hopeful news for those with no vision and those with the loss of one eye as it will allow them to recover depth perception no matter the resolution. If you were blind and someone offered you vision only one thousandths as average you would do anything for it.

Wow that is simply amazing. Hopefully I won’t need one after sitting in front of my laptop screen for so many years. I love technology and this is yet another crazy technological advancement.

you know the first fully functional bionic eye with night vision, telescoping, infrared etc will probably be issued to people in the military. It will definitely be awesome and will cut down on baggage no matter who you are or what you do. I Know i want em.

I was born blind in my left eye due to nerve damage, I wonder if this device would allow me to see again?

My daughter aged 5 years had retina detachment in both eyes, is there any possibility of the bionic eye system, which would work out for my daughter.

With the direction current medical science is progressing they will more then likely be able to grow an exact working copy of your eye and transplant it in long before they will come up with a electronic eye that is as good as the organic equivalent.

So is this a night vision like what yahoo said? Is this the eye that can actually see in the dark or just another duplicate money wasting product.

Hmmm. If you got one of these you would still have ONE “real” eye… hmmmm…. I could probably deal with that.

Yeah that is pretty darn sweet. I know a man who is almost 100 percent blind in one eye. Wonder if that would work for him?

Whoops, I meant to post that under the main thread; now I sound like a pretentious dick wad.

Maybe they should instead use those 60 electrode to interface with 60 different kinds of laser beams and tiny little dart launchers. SWEET.

Did I miss some major advancements in bio/electronic interfacing? Yeah yeah; you can stick a tiny camera in someone’s eye socket – big deal. Can you interface it with the optic nerve? That’s 99.9% of the challenge.

Not saying it can’t be done – just saying its not something that can be solved by a pair of wire strippers and a couple o’ dozen trusty “western union” splices.

I think right now they are testing a version with 60 electrodes. Assuming a 1:1 correlation between electrodes and pixels (I’m assuming the optic nerve isn’t “progressive scan”) – to say nothing of the “bit depth” of these electrodes – were talking about 1/1,000,000th of the visual acuity of an organic eye.

I am not blind but would like one! That is probably the coolest thing I’ve seen. Since the brain’s activity is electric wouldn’t a bionic eye be the most logical thing?

What would take the cake is if it was solar powered! We don’t need to see when it is dark so solar power would be most logical.

Hi, My sister, 35 years of age, residing in India has been diagnosed with optic atrophy, and is sufferring from degeneration of the nerves in the eye.
Pls let me know if the bionic eye can help her.
she is desperate and is also ready to be part of trials if reqd.

Thanks to anyone who can direct me to a solution to this.

Has the bionic eye transplant started for patients? If so, what is the contact no, where I can try.
