Colorado Coffinmaker Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Oh good lord. THREE different sources of garbage information do not make it Gospel. It (The Bionic Eye) is a Science fiction Pipe dream. Are there folks trying to make one?? Sure. In our lifetime ?? Currently there is not even a dream of being able to hook one up to the brain.

Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Some may consider a bionic eye from what they see in the movies, but for those who are blind or have some form of vision loss, can be implanted with a form of bionic eye to help them see better.
