Robotic Eyes

Canadian Jens Naumann lost both eyes in an accident whilst still a youth, though be recently had them replaced by machines. The eyes of this machine do not work in the same way as our eyes, giving a picture which is equivalent to only 6% the quality of the normal human eye. Despite its limitation, 'cyborg vision' is useful in distinguishing between light and dark and recognising simple patterns.
Few can deny the potential benefits of this new frontier of technology.
