Bio-Retina Implant Could Give Laser-Powered Sight to the Blind


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.
