You have probably heard of bionic eyeballs, which actually are assumed to be highly enhanced cameras that are implanted into human eyes. It looks like Bionic Vision Australia has indeed invented a real kind. BVA, along with the researchers at the New South Wales University, have exhibited their enhanced prototype of the “eye’ that boasts a pair of glasses mounted with an extremely quality camera, a pocket-mounted CPU, in addition to a wireless electrode chip that need to be implanted into the eye by surgical process. The electrode chip includes total 98 electrodes that tends to stimulate cells on the optical nerve, resulting in better vision for those with sight problem due to their optical never concerns. Clinical trials have been scheduled to start later this year in the city of Melbourne, with an expectation that actual eye patients will get treatment sometime in the year 2013. Kudos!
