"Revolutionary Solar-Powered Eye Implants: Restoring Vision with Self-Powered Bionics"

TL;DR Summary
Researchers have developed solar-powered eye implants that could potentially help people with incurable eye diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration. The technology aims to power sensors and cameras in the eye using solar photovoltaic panels, eliminating the need for external charging. While still in the proof-of-concept stage, the idea shows promise in addressing the challenge of powering the implants and could significantly impact the treatment of eye diseases in the future.
