Ophthalmologists, Physicists Design Bionic Eye

InfallibleLies writes "For the first time ever, those who have been blind since birth will have a chance to see the world. It's still in the early stages, but this is a giant leap forward in medical science." From the linked BBC article: "U.S scientists have designed a bionic eye to allow blind people to see again. It comprises a computer chip that sits in the back of the individual's eye, linked up to a mini video camera built into glasses that they wear. Images captured by the camera are beamed to the chip, which translates them into impulses that the brain can interpret."

For future reference, the events depicted in some books may not actually have happened. Do not be alarmed, such books are simply works of fiction. Their purpose is often to entertain, and occasionally to enlighten through the use of metaphor among other things.

The American Heritage Dictionary defines fiction as "A literary work whose content is produced by the imagination and is not necessarily based on fact."
