Visual prosthesis
For the non-functional prosthesis or glass eye see Ocular prosthesis and Craniofacial prosthesis.
A visual prosthesis, often referred to as a bionic eye is an experimental visual device intended to restore functional vision. Many devices have been developed, usually modeled on the cochlear implant or bionic ear devices, a type of neural prosthesis in use since the mid 1980s.
