ABSTRACT
Blindness is more feared by the public than any other ailment.
Artificial eye for the blind was once the stuff of science fiction. But now, a
limited form of artificial eye is a reality .Now we are at the beginning of the
end of blindness with this type of technology. In an effort to illuminate the
perpetually dark world of the blind, researchers are turning to technology.
They are investigating several electronic-based strategies designed to bypass
various defects or missing links along the brain's image processing pathway
and provide some form of artificial sight.

This paper is about Curing blindness.

Linking electronics and biotechnology, the scientists has made the commitment
to the development of technology that will provide or restore eye for the
visually impaired around the world. This paper describes the development
of artificial eye system, which cures blindness to some extent. This paper
explains the process involved in it and explains the concepts of artificial silicon
retina, cortical implants etc. The roadblocks that are created are also
elucidated clearly. Finally the advancements made in this system and scope of
this in the future is also presented clearly.
