Researchers look to create a bionic eye that can restore people’s sight.

Vision loss affects millions of Americans. But University of Oregon researchers are looking to create an electronic solution- a bionic eye - that could restore people’s sight. The challenge is creating an interface that will allow the brain to understand what the bionic eye is seeing. Fractal structures could be the key to allowing a retinal implant and the brain to communicate with each other.
