The retina, located at the back of the eye, converts images into nerve signals that travel via the optic nerve to the brain. Damage to the retina causes vision loss.
A bionic eye uses a retinal implant connected to a video camera that is built into a pair of glasses. The camera converts images into electrical impulses which activate remaining retinal cells. The cells then send visual information along the optic nerve to the brain, where the image is interpreted. In this way the bionic eye mimics the function of the retina and restores sight.
The bionic eye will restore useful vision on people with advanced retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa.
