Bionic eye
This mechanism allows some recovery of eyesight if the optic nerve is saved healthy. In most cases, this is a small camera attached to the eyeglasses. The camera takes a photo and sends it to an electronic module, hanging on the belt of the patient. The picture is black-and-white , with low resolution, i.e. perceive only rough outlines and there is no color vision. After processing of
This mechanism allows some recovery of eyesight if the optic nerve is saved healthy. In most cases, this is a small camera attached to the eyeglasses. The camera takes a photo and sends it to an electronic module, hanging on the belt of the patient. The picture is black-and-white , with low resolution, i.e. perceive only rough outlines and there is no color vision. After processing of
the
electronic module picture is transmitted wirelessly to the antennas
close to the eyeball. These antennas forward the signal to electrodes
implanted into the retina. Another direction in this regard is the use
of photovoltaic plate which converts light into electrons and delivers
it to the brain via the optic nerve. At the moment this technology
allows only making a difference between light and dark.
