Bionic Eye in 5 Years
This is another one of those technology stories that kinda creeps me out.
Too science-fictiony. But alas, it'll soon be reality.
The world's first 3D artificial eyeball -- capable of outperforming the human eye in some ways -- may help droves of people who are partially or fully blind in as little as five years, according to experts.
Researchers from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have devised an electrochemical eye whose structure and performance mimic those of the ones humans are born with.
The device converts images through tiny sensors that mirror the light-detecting photoreceptor cells in a human eye, The Sun reported. Those sensors reside within a membrane made of aluminum and tungsten which is shaped into a half sphere for the purpose of mimicking a human retina.

I've said many, many times on here that I'm a big fan of new scientific discovery/innovation that leads to cool new stuff.
The bionic eyeball has potential to help thousands upon thousands upon thousands of people.
But, it still seems creepy. I've watched too many movies, I guess.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
