Smart Glasses: An Alternative to Bionic Eye
Star Trek's Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge wore a prosthetic trademark VISOR to help him 'see' much of the electromagnetic spectrum. Australian researchers, working on two different projects on opposite sides of the globe, are working to turn -
Bionic eye hope from a touch of light
People cannot see nanoparticles, but nanoparticles may one day help people to see. Microscopic gold nanoparticles fixed to optical nerves and assembled to respond to different laser light wavelengths could become the key to bionic vision

Bionic eye hope blends lasers and gold
A novel approach to restoring sight using a 'bionic eye' is being investigated at Swinburne. The laser stimulation of optic nerves is the focus of this research to develop a vision prosthesis. -
