Here's hope for blind people around the world: the world's first bionic eye may soon be allowed to go on sale in the United States.
Dubbed the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System, the eye has so far helped more than 60 people recover partial sight, Discovery News reported.
"It's the first bionic eye to go on the market in the world, the first in Europe and the first one in the U.S.," said Brian Mech, the California-based developer's vice president of business development.
Mech said Argus II is already available in several European countries for 73,000 euros ($99,120), and a US price may be slightly higher.
Expected to benefit from Argus II are people with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare genetic disease that affects some 100,000 people in the U.S.
Such a disease results in the degeneration of the retinal photoreceptors.
The Argus II has 60 electrodes implanted in the retina and glasses fitted with a special mini-camera.
