Australian scientists have created the Gennaris Bionic Vision System, a pioneering technology designed to *restore some degree of sight* to people with certain types of blindness by bypassing damaged optic nerves and directly stimulating the brain’s vision center with signals from a camera; however, while it offers new hope and significant improvements (such as perceiving shapes and movement with a wide field of view), it does not yet fully restore natural human vision—the technology is currently entering human clinical trials to assess its effectiveness and safety further. So, it’s a major breakthrough and could revolutionize blindness treatment, but “fully restore vision” is not yet accurate, as the restored vision is still limited and doesn’t match normal eyesight.
