Implanting a micro - television camera directly into the orb may be a succeeding solution for reinstate sight to people with damage vision , according to this letters patent applications programme . The tv camera could be charge wirelessly , and communicate directly with a bit implanted at the back of the optic , so very little external hardware would be needed :
engineering to restore sight to the blind by using electronic retina has been around for awhile , but the link between the retina and outside cameras has involved wires , which just seems clunky . UCLA Optical engineer Michelle Hauer thinks that technology may have advance enough to engraft a tiny camera inside the lens of the eye , able of accommodate for corneal optical effects and perhaps using haptics to stabilise its position . The camera would transmit images to a nerve - shake chip at the back of the eye , result in a complete electronic vision system .
