The laser-powered bionic eye that gives 576-pixel grayscale vision to the blind

After a lot of theorizing, postulating, and non-human trials, it looks like bionic eye implants are finally hitting the market — first in Europe, and hopefully soon in the US. These implants can restore sight to completely blind patients — though only if the blindness is caused by a faulty retina, as in macular degeneration (which millions of old people suffer from), diabetic retinopathy, or other degenerative eye diseases.

The Fuzz and I may both need one of these eventually...

I've read where several of those diseases are caused by straining one's eyes looking at attractive young ladies

I already have one. LOL ........After  5 surgerys to repair a really bad detached retina over 4 yrs ago (which is almost normal now) I always call my eye bionic , haha
