A bionic eye like this is a lifesaver.
Of course as it directly connects to the retina at the back of the eye it is only useful if your blindness actually left you that functionality but even so. It will improve the life of many.
Of course once the interface to the retinais up and running the sky is the limit for special gizmos that will connect to it. A night vision unit would be handy but think about microscopes and telescopes depending on what you want to do and all in a hot swappable unit for ease of use.
Imagine surgeons with the ability to zoom in close for intricate work.
Only question is that who will be the first to have healthy eyes removed to give them enhanced vision? Once is it perfected of course. Or would you only do one eye? I would like the enhanced facility but, yet again, I wouldn’t be at the front of the queue.
In the land of the blind
