IntroductionIntroduction
we talk of artificial intelligence that has created waves of interest in thefield of robotics. When this has been possible, why not artificial vision?It is with this dream that I present this paper on Bionic Eyes .

DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION
Ma ny types of artifici al eyes h ave been designed and rese arch is sti llgoing on . T here is no st andard mode l in this c ase . R esearchers areworking out different types of concepts .
EXAMPL
E:T he prototype de vices are 2 mi llimeters across and cont ain some 3,500
micro photodiodes . Placed behind the retin a, this co llection of mini aturesolar cells is designed to con vert natur al light to e lectric al sign als, whichare then tr ansmitted to the br ain by the rem aining he althy p arts of the
retin a.

CONDITIONS:
1. An image must be formed on the retina to stimulate its receptors (rods andcones).
2. Resulting nerve impulses must be conducted to the visual areas of the cerebralcortex for interpretation.

FOUR PROCESSES FOCUS LIGHT RAYSFOUR PROCESSES FOCUS LIGHT RAYS
((form a clear image on the retinaform a clear image on the retina ))
1. Refraction of light rays2. Accommodation of the lens3. C onstriction of the pupil 4. C onvergence of the eyes

HOW IS VISION IMPAIRED ?HOW IS VISION IMPAIRED ?
1. Damage or degeneration of the optic nerve, the brain, or any partof the visual pathway between them, can impair vision.
For example , the pressure associated with glaucoma can alsodamage the optic nerve. Diabetes, already cited as a cause of retinadamage, can also cause degeneration of the optic nerve.

2. D amage to the visual pathw ay does not always resu lt in total loss of sight . D epending on where the d amage occurs, on ly a part of the visualfield may be affected .
F or example, a cert ain form of neuritis (ner ve inf lamm ation), oftenassoci ated with mu ltiple sclerosis, c an cause loss of on ly the center of thevisual fie ld a condition c alled scotom a.

FACTS:FACTS:
After insertion into an eyeball, the polymer film willsimply dissolve leaving only the array behind after a coupleof weeks.
The artificial retinas constructed at SVEC consist of 100,000 tinceramic detectors, each 1/20th the size of a human hair.

CONCLUSION
Restoration of sight for the blind is no more a dream.E ngineers p lay a major ro le in the design st age of Bionic E yes .
T his paper has tried to present the concept of A rtifici al V ision through an engineers viewpoint .
I t is just a matter of 4 -5 years that the blind will be able to see
through these Bionic E yes; thanks to S cience and T echno logy .
