U-M Kellog Eye Center implants first bionic eye

<Insert Bionic Man sound effects here> Last month surgeons at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center implanted the very first bionic eye in patients with  late stage Retinitis Pigmentosa.
 
Excerpt:
 
"The device is implanted in one eye. The patient wears glasses with a camera that converts images into electrical pulses that go to the retina.
 
It won't completely restore a person's vision, but it's giving people who can't see some hope."
