World Sight Day: Bionic Eyes, Sensor-Equipped Contact Lenses — New Ophthalmic Techniques

Ophthalmic technologies include surgical processes to reverse vision loss, bionic eyes, artificial intelligence algorithms to detect eye conditions, sensor-equipped contact lenses, intraocular lenses.

World Sight Day: Bionic eyes are a new advancement in ophthalmology. Also known as a visual prosthesis, a bionic eye is an electrical implant that is surgically inserted into the eye and improves light sensitivity and creates a sense of vision for people with advanced vision loss.
