They may not be able to see for miles like Lee Majors' Bionic Man can, but six patients implanted with bionic retinas are seeing things they haven't seen in years. The patients are part of a pilot ...

A new study at the University of Sydney has showcased promising results for a new bionic eye. A team of biomedical students at the university developed the device. After three months of studying the ...

May 8 -- Debbie Bennett's retinas stopped working 23 years ago, and suddenly, her sight abandoned her. "I was reading a book. And all of a sudden, my vision just went," Bennett told ABCNEWS' Science ...

Vision loss has long been treated as a one-way street, a devastating endpoint rather than a problem the brain might quietly ...

On the grand scale of things, we know so very little about the brain. With some brute force testing, though, one scientist has worked out the code that the retina uses to communicate with the brain -- ...

A team of Engineers from Stanford, and Glasgow, Scotland, have made some incredible advances on their earlier designs for a photovoltaic bionic eye. Their new paper, published in Nature Communications ...

Known as the Phoenix99 Bionic Eye, the prosthesis is currently being developed by scientists at Australia's University of Sydney and University of New South Wales. It's intended for use on patients ...

ANN ARBOR, MI -- A degenerative eye disease slowly robbed Roger Pontz of his vision. Diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa as a teenager, Pontz has been almost completely blind for years. Now, thanks to ...

Early this year, Lopez got what he calls a "bionic eye" - a microelectrode array implanted in the retina. The electrode takes over the function of damaged retinal cells, sending signals to a special ...

HyVIS, the European project coordinated by the IIT-Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (Italian Institute of Technology), is about to start. By combining nanotechnology and optics, it will develop bionic ...
