Australian scientists have created a prototype bionic eye that has allowed a blind patient to see the outline of objects for the first time.
A patient in Australia, Dianne Ashworth, who has severe vision loss due to the inherited condition retinitis pigmentosa, was fitted with an early prototype bionic eye in May this year during surgery at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne.
