Blindness affects millions of people around the world. Whether it occurs as a result of an illness or accident, or someone was born blind, losing eyesight can be an extremely devastating thing to deal with.

The procedure generally consists of a very small camera that is attached to the optic nerve in the visual cortex, which is then attached to a stimulator on the retina. The entire device is held in place by a pair of glasses, which is attached to a small computer, which in turn sends signals that mimic sight directly to the patient’s brain.
