What does the bionic eye do?

Explanation:
Think about how a retinal prosthesis works to restore some vision. A tiny camera, usually mounted on glasses, captures the scene. The device then processes that image and sends electrical pulses to electrodes placed on or near the retina. Those electrical signals stimulate the remaining retinal neurons, sending visual information to the brain. So the bionic eye’s job is to convert what the camera sees into electrical stimulation of the retina, creating visual input. It doesn’t store memory, it doesn’t amplify sounds, and it doesn’t measure blood sugar.
