BIONIC EYE - an achievement of visual perception in animals and/or humans.

2. CONTENTS
• WHAT IS BIONIC EYE
• INTRODUCTION
• FUNCTION OF BIONIC EYE
• COMPONENTS
• WORKING
• ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES

3. WHAT IS BIONIC EYE
• Bionic Eye refers to
BIOELECTRONIC EYE .
• The ELECTRONIC DEVICE
which replaces functionality of a
part or whole part of the eye.

4. INTRODUCTION
• A bionic eye is an experimental visual
device intended to restore functional vision
in those suffering from blindness.
• It was invented by Dr.Mark Humayun.
• As it was invented by him,it is known as
Argus.

5. FUNCTION OF BIONIC EYE
• A Bionic Eye mimics the function of retina
to restore sight for those with severe vision
loss
• It acts as an artificial vision devicce for
those who lost their vision

6. COMPONENTS OF BIONIC
EYE
• CAMERA
• PAIR OF GLASSES
• MICRO CHIP
• ELECTRODES

8. ADVANTAGES
• Helps correct vision
• Improves quality of life for blind
people
• No batteries implanted within body
• No complicated surgical procedure
• Compact size-6x6 mm
• Reduces the stress upon Retina

9. DISADVANTAGES
• It doesn’t correct vision upto 100%
• EXPENSIVE
• A small damage leads to failure of this
technique
• High standard of maintenance required
• Precise programming needed
• (time,training,specialist knowledge)

10. NECESSITY
• With nearly 40 million people suffering from
blindness world wide and other 124 million
affected by low vision,
the researchers are developing novel ways to
restore sight .
One such effort is
BIONIC EYE.

11. CONCLUSSION
• With the reference of bionic eye, scientists
are now looking at devices like bionic
arms,noses etc
• Researchers throughout the world are
striving to improve people’s lives with
bionic devices
• The biomedical engineering should
improve the ways for improving bionics
• On the whole , BIONIC EYE greatly
reduces the blindness in the further
generation.
