researchers from Monash University, Australia, have developed the world's first bionic eye, known as the 'Gennaris Bionic Vision System.' This innovative technology offers hope to millions suffering from blindness by bypassing damaged optic nerves and sending visual signals directly to the brain's vision center. The Gennaris system, the result of nearly a decade of research, includes a miniature camera worn by the user and up to 11 thumbnail-sized wireless implants placed on the brain's surface.

These implants stimulate brain cells with tiny electrical pulses, enabling users to perceive basic shapes and outlines. The system provides a 100-degree field of view, offering a more natural vision experience than previous technologies. After promising results in animal studies, human clinical trials are set to begin in Melbourne, marking a significant step toward revolutionizing blindness treatment and bringing this life-changing technology closer to widespread adoption.
