You've Got a Chip in Your Eye 1
Imagine if one day computer chips could be placed in your eyes. Would you be able to see through walls or use your eyes to zoom in on tiny, miniscule objects? Computer chips may not give you supersight, but they may help some blind people finally see.

Replacing body parts with mechanical devices is called bionics. Scientists have been developing bionic body parts for a long time, but in the last 20 years, they have started using computer chips to make bionic devices better and more effective.

To place a computer chip in an eye, a doctor makes a tiny pocket in the retina, the back of the eye. The retina is like a movie screen, and the lens at the front of your eye focuses light onto it. The computer chip, about the size of a pinhead and thinner than a human hair, is placed inside the tiny pocket. The chip senses light and helps a person see.

Six people were in the first group to allow doctors to put chips in their eyes. The patients say the computer chips have helped them see better. Before the operation, one patient could only see objects that were a few feet away. After the operation was completed, he said he could see a flock of geese flying through the sky. Another patient who saw only darkness before the operation can now see light and shadows. "Someone came along and developed this little thing to put in your eye, and suddenly I can see more light," he said, celebrating his improved sight. "None of us had expectations that we'd be able to see someone's face or read a book. Eventually, it'll work."
