A new bionic eye implant could allow blind people to
recognize faces, watch TV and even read. Nano Retina’s Bio-Retina is one of two
recent attempts to help people with age-related eye problems, which affects 1.5
million people in the U.S. The
Bio-Retina implant is small because it doesn’t have an antenna. Instead, the
implant takes images directly from the eye, and a laser powers the images into
the eye. Because of the small size of the chip, an eye doctor can insert it
through a small incision in the eye.
