I think, this may be useful to those who have lost vision due to retina
related problems.

Microchip to power first functional bionic eye
IANS
Researchers have unveiled a microchip which is expected to power the
first functional bionic eye.
“This is a remarkable new microchip that has brought a retinal implant
much closer to reality,” said Gregg Suaning, project leader and
associate professor with Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering,
University of New South Wales.
“At only five square millimetres, the device is tiny but represents a
significant advance in nerve stimulation technology,” said Suaning,
according to a New South Wales release.
“The design team incorporated never-before attempted features with
this design and absolutely nailed every aspect,” added Suaning.
Bionic Vision Australia director Anthony Burkitt said: “This microchip
is at the heart of the retinal implant which stimulates the retinal
cells to elicit vision.”
