Question: Is there any device for Blind people that can help them see?
My friend was in a devastating accident that left her paralyzed and blind. One of her eyes was completely removed and replaced with a glass eye, her other eye remained intact but the optic nerve was severed.Is there anything available that works, that allows her to "see" again?

There's a bionic eye in development. Works with a camera that's wired to receptors in the brain.

There is research into optic nerve regeneration, but this is mostly for people with glaucoma. There is also research into wiring microscopic cameras to the optic nerve/ brain, but it sounds more like science fiction than actual science.
