Sight

An upcoming wearable device for the legally blind could help them navigate public and outdoor spaces independently, acting as 'glasses' that guide them through their surroundings. Maker .Lumen is accepting reservations now.

Elon Musk says Neuralink's BlindSight eye implants "ultimately may exceed normal human vision" – but researchers now contend that this is highly unlikely, and new videos show what the world will look like through direct pixels-to-neurons imaging.

Scientists have developed a new type of lens that creates multiple focal points, which could make for glasses or contacts that provide a clearer view over a range of distances. The secret? Making the lens a spiral shape.

Scientists at the Caltech have created a remote-controlled robot to help test the effectiveness of visual prostheses, such as an artificial retina, which are implanted into visually-impaired patients.
