HONG KONG (Xinhua): An international team led by scientists at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed the world's first 3D artificial eye with capabilities better than existing bionic eyes, bringing new hope to patients with visual impairment.
Scientists have spent decades trying to replicate the structure and clarity of a biological eye, but vision provided by existing prosthetic eyes, largely in the form of spectacles attached with external cables, are still in poor resolution with 2D flat image sensors, according to the HKUST on Tuesday (June 9).
