Woman undergoes bionic eye surgery in Honolulu to restore vision

The video explains the process of converting images into electrical impulses by the retina, focusing on a retinal implant procedure for a woman blinded by retinitis pigmentosa. It details the surgical attachment of a bionic case to the eyeball, which includes an electronic array implanted under the retina. A camera on bionic glasses captures images, which are processed into electronic pulses. These pulses are sent back to the glasses, relayed to a receiver on the eyeball, and transmitted to the electronic array. The array stimulates the optic nerve, sending information to the brain.

What is the role of the retinal cells in the process of vision?

Describe the condition that led the Hawaiian woman to undergo the retinal implant procedure.

Explain how the bionic glasses capture and process images.

What happens to the electronic pulses after they are generated?

How does the retinal implant stimulate the optic nerve?
