Bionic Eye Implant Offers Hope to Sight impaired

Chris James, blind due to retinitis pigmentosa, undergoes a pioneering surgery in Britain to implant a digital chip in his eye, potentially restoring his vision. The surgery involves precise placement of the chip to bypass damaged retinal areas. Post-surgery, Chris's brain must adapt to interpreting the new, fragmented visual signals. The chip converts light into electrical signals, creating a grainy black and white image. This innovative procedure is part of a trial at Oxford and Kings College hospitals.
