IRIS II Bionic Vision System Approved in Europe
http://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/IRIS-II-glasses.png Pixium Vision, a firm out of Paris, France, won the EU CE mark of approval to introduce its*IRIS II bionic vision system to people who are suffering from outer retinal degeneration. The system relies on a camera embedded into a special pair of glasses and a 150 electrode epi-retinal implant surgically positioned next to the eye.

Unlike a traditional image sensor, the camera inside the glasses has independent pixels that are **t updated on a clock, but instead are continuously recognizing changes. Essentially, the system acts like the mass of photoreceptor cells that it effectively replaces, providing people basic vision capabilities when there would otherwise be **ne.
The implant is both removable and upgradeable, potentially leading to improved vision in people who are actually losing their natural abilities.
