Question

There are millions of people throughout the world who are either born blind or have become blind over the course of their lifetimes. It is unfair to take away the visual beauty of the world from these people. Doctor Humayun has created the world’s first bionic eye that could change the life of every blind people in the world.

Doctor Mark Humayun is a well respected professor at the Doheny Eye Institute in California. He has been working for years on creating a bionic eye that would allow blind people to see images just like a normal person does. His idea of the bionic eye is actually an eye that has been built in a small video camera.

The test results show the bionic eye has given blind patients the amazing ability to see the scientists doing the tests. But the images are still blurry(模糊的) and we need much work before the eye actually becomes a regular implant(植入物) into blind people. Humayun believes that he can go into production with the bionic eye over the next three to five years.

A closer look at the bionic eye is amazing. The patient wears a special set of eyeglasses. All the signals(信号) are passed to the implanted eye. It’s done by wireless technology.

This could be considered a technological achievement.
