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.
