How does the bionic eye work?

Answer:
  • The device called the " Bionic eye" consists of glasses mounted with a camera.
  • This camera is attached to a stimulator (an electronic chip) on the retina, optic nerve or in the portion of the brain which produces perceptions of vision.
  • When light falls on the camera, it focus the light on to the stimulator.
  • The stimulator converts light to electrical signals which then reach the appropriate section of the brain responsible for vision.
  • However, this technique is best suited to patients whose optic nerves developed well in spite of losing their vision.
