Vision impairment affects millions of people worldwide, significantly impacting their quality of life. Traditional treatments for vision impairment have limitations, making the development of innovative solutions crucial. This research survey aims to explore the efficacy of bionic eyes in restoring vision impairment. Bionic eyes, also known as visual prostheses, are cutting-edge technologies that seek to restore lost vision by bypassing damaged visual pathways and directly stimulating the remaining neural structures. The paper provides an overview of various bionic eye technologies, comparing their advantages and disadvantages. It presents a summary of key clinical trials and case studies demonstrating the efficacy of bionic eyes in restoring vision, while discussing factors that may influence their success. Technical challenges, ethical considerations, and potential social implications of bionic eye technologies are also addressed. Recent advances and innovations in the field, as well as potential broader applications, are highlighted. The findings of this research survey suggest that bionic eyes hold promise in restoring vision impairment, but several challenges and limitations must be addressed to make them a viable solution for a larger population. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research and development in the field of bionic eye technologies.
