    Bionic eye? Yes, bionic eye

    Bionic eye with better vision than humans coming in five years

    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 design has a high degree of structural similarity to a human eye with the potential to achieve high imaging resolution when individual nanowires are electrically addressed," researchers of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology wrote in a paper published in the journal Nature.

    Whoa. I’ve developed lots of retinal problems way too young and have kind of started to accept that I’ll go blind at some point in my later years. With the speed of medical advancement I’ve been hopeful there would be a “cure” for blindness by then, but this is a lot sooner than I expected. Definitely didn’t expect a transplant.
