Bionic Eyes Are Coming, and They’ll Make Us Superhuman
In Brief:
- Bionic eyes are already in development and could alleviate sight issues for hundreds of millions suffering from visual impairments or blindness.
- The mechanical eyes could also provide enhanced sight so cybernetic humans could see more of the electromagnetic spectrum.

New bionic eye implant connects directly to brain, allowing blind woman to see shapes & colors
Scientists may have made a significant breakthrough in restoring human sight, as a woman who had been blind for seven years has regained the ability to see shapes and colours with a bionic eye implant.
The 30-year-old woman had a wireless visual stimulator chip inserted into her brain by University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) surgeons in the first human test of the product. As a result, she could see colored flashes, lines, and spots when signals were sent to her brain from a computer.
The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, suffered no significant adverse side effects in the process, according to a statement.
