Abstract: Artificial vision is new emerging revolutionary technique that allows blind people to see. This can be possible by visual
implants like either camera or photoreceptors array. A specialist can perform the best supernatural art of providing new vision to
individual who has lost his/her visualizing power or eye sight. A visual prosthesis or bionic eye is a type of neural prosthesis expected to
mostly re-establish lost vision or intensify existing vision brought about by a visual observation in patients with retinal pathologies like
retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration. In this article we have represented the different aspects related to
technological advancement in implanting bionic eye. The essential capacity of the gadget to get the pictures utilizing a camera, convert
it to electric signs and in the long run animate the left-over more advantageous pieces of the visual pathway. The embed visual
prosthesis depends on a little chip that is precisely embedded behind the retina, at the rear of the eye ball. Virtual protheses like
automated retinal systems are a new and innovative solution to extreme vision impairment care. We have also included the history of
advancement in prosthetic and surgical process of embedding bionic eye.

Keywords: Bionic eye, Prosthesis, Retinitis pathologies, Pigmentosa.
