The fact this bionic eye has been successful is amazing, but it's also important that the developers have a realistic outlook on its effects and realize that further developments need and can be made.

Who would've thought that someone would develop the technology to combat what has been a very serious problem across the globe. This will go a long way in turning that problem around. Great story.

This is a fantastic use of technology. Allowing people be able to see for possibly the first time is the best gift they could ever receive.
