Bionic Eye That Links Up To Your Glasses to Cure Blindness.
Human Eye is similar to a camera. Macula provides the
highest resolution of the image which we see. Macula is comprised of multiple
layers of cells which process the initial “analog “light energy entering the
eye into “digital” electrochemical impulses.
Human eye has nearly 100 million photoreceptors but because
of some eye disease many people can't see properly so a new biomedical
technology is invented to overcome the eye disease problems of millions of
people in the world & which is still under research to provide good eye
vision to blind people. A visual prosthesis is a bio-electronic eye i.e. bionic
eye, is an experimental visual device intended to restore functional vision to
those suffering from partial or total blindness.
A visual prosthesis or bionic eye is an experimental visual
device intended to restore functional vision in those suffering from partial or
total blindness. Many surgeries and devices have been developed to cure the
blindness of the people. The bionic organs are artificial organs constructed in
a way so that they can imitate the functions of the damaged organ to operate
appropriately.
Bionic eye is placed on the back of the eye that will
restore sight at the back of the eyeball as a light transmitter to the brain.
the wire connecting to the nerve going to the brain so that it can read the
signal which is thinner than a human hair. There may now be a way to restore
vision with the help of a new device. The device bypasses the part of the
retina that’s not working and utilizes the remainder of the ret ina to give
vision to these patients.
One field where computer-related image processing technology
shows great promise for the future is bionic implants such as cochlear
implants, retinal implants etc. retinal implants are being developed around the
world in hopes of restoring useful vision for patients suffering from certain
types of diseases. The Bionic Eye is an emerging technology that aims to help
correct the vision of those that are affected by various eye disease. like
age-related macular degeneration (amd) and retinitis pigmentosa (rp). In these
diseases the photoreceptor cells slowly degenerated, leading to blindness.
However, many of the inner retinalneurons that transmit
signals from the photoreceptors to the brain are preserved to a large extent
for aprolonged period of time. the retinal prosthesis aims to provide partial
vision by electrically activating the remaining cells of the retina. the epi
retinal prosthesis system is composed of two units, extra ocular unit and
intraocular implant. Signal passing through these various stages restore vision
to most blind people.
ADVANTAGES OF BIONIC
EYE
1) Helps correct vision.
2) No longer has limited access.
3) Can be easily implanted.
5) Research is not limited by budget.
