Bionic eye tech aims to help blind people see
Once upon a time there were some unusual Australian sheep, with exceptionally sharp eyesight.
The small flock spent three months last year with bionic, artificial eyes, surgically implanted behind their retinas.
These sheep were part of a medical trial that aims to ultimately help people with some types of blindness to be able to see.
The specific aim of the sheep test was to see if the device in question, the Phoenix 99, caused any adverse physical reactions - the bionic eye was said to have been well tolerated by the animals. As a result, an application has now been made to start testing in human patients.
The project is being carried out by a team of researchers from the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales.
The Phoenix 99 is wirelessly linked to a small camera attached to a pair of glasses, it works by stimulating a user's retina. The retina is the layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye that convert light into electrical messages, sent to the brain via the optic nerve, and processed into what we see.
