Bionic eye

About our research

The bionic eye team at CERA is part of a national collaboration that has developed a next-generation bionic eye implant that gives patients with inherited retinal disease (IRD) a ‘sense of sight’ – lights and flashes that help them locate objects and navigate spaces independently.
The bionic eye has been successfully implanted in seven patients, and the team is now working towards commercialisation of the device.
