A bionic eye, also called a visual prosthesis, is an electrical implant that is surgically inserted into the eye. It improves light sensitivity and creates a sense of vision for people who have advanced vision loss.
Most of the devices being developed are for individuals who have retinal degeneration caused by diseases like retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). There are other devices being studied that bypass the optic nerve and may be useful for people who have other types of vision loss.
A consultation with a doctor is necessary to determine if bionic eyes are a viable treatment option for your specific vision loss
