Scientists have claimed a bionic eye could be here in just five years. It is the second breakthrough in the medical fight to beat blindness announced in the past month.
The world’s first 3D artificial “eyeball” creates images using tiny sensors that mimic light-detecting cells found in a human eye.
And it could even be capable of sharper vision than the real thing, say the scientists behind it. Professor Zhiyong Fan, from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, said: “Our biomimetic eye has a size comparable to a human eye – a bit more than 2cm in diameter.
It can be used for visual prosthesis to help the blind or those visually impaired. “It can lead to a bionic eye.” News of the device comes after US scientists found they
