In the actual era, we live with radical technology which can help the blinds to see.

This is an
amazing advance to what we can do on the future, maybe UV vision or Eyeballs that zoom in and
out like a camera lens.

Several scientists are working around the world to upgrade what we currently call the bionic eye.
The company second sight It has such a device, called the Argus II, whose cost is around $145,000
and has been used by some 80 visually impaired people in the last few years.

it functions by combining an external eyeglass-placed camera and a sophisticated retinal implant.


Through the microchip of the camera, you can know what is being seen, the data reading is sent to
the retinal implants, which provide the information to the optic nerve through electrodes.
Achieving focus light, shadow, and movements.

Other countries like the United States have their own models of bionic eyes, like Germany with the
Alpha IMS. This device is more compact than the Argus, since it replaces the camera with an
integrated sensor that sends signals to the retina. Takes advantage of the Argus by using 25 more
electrodes. Bionic eye researchers at University of New South Wales in Australia predict there will
be a fully functioning artificial eye available by 2020.

New methods that go directly to the brain are currently being considered. The percentage of
people who cannot bear the implant is high, since they do not have a functional retina. Second
sight works on a novel implant that bypasses even the retinal layer, implanting the electrodes
directly in the visual region of the brain. According to the BBC. The trial is planned in 5 patients
with advanced ages and retinal problems. This being a great advance for the blind.

Geordie La Forge's eye enhancements would be the best point of comparison when it comes to
current innovation since in Star Trek this character had infrared, night, and even telescopic vision.

The retina transplant raises questions about the possibility that in the future these enhancements
may no longer be science fiction. This question does not have a clear answer, but according to
scientists, bionic devices would not only help with visual disabilities, but would also provide a
certain advantage over humans.

Today they are only theory, but in the future, we will be able to carry many devices and apps
inside our bionic eyes.

In the military environment, mines could be seen by infrared. The dangers of noxious gases would
not be a problem for parents, almost like a carbon monoxide alarm.

First dates would be clearer by being able to scan your partner, even see under their clothes.

If possible, the projection of direct images to the brain would see microorganisms just like a
microscope.

At present the human eye perceives the luminosity in a 1%. Which is not much. Those who think
ahead believe that bionic eyes will improve on that, seeing much further than that 1%.

Having two eyes it is no surprise that many bio hackers replace one of their eyes with bionic
implants.
Our perception of the world will not be the same.
