Bionic Eye powered by the Sun invented by Stanford Scientists

The new bionic eye technology requires a special pair of glasses that beams near infrared light into the eye according to BBC. The glasses carry a video camera that records what is in front of the patient. It transmits that information with near infrared light on the retinal chip.
