Elon Musk's Neuralink has joined a groundbreaking study aimed at developing a bionic eye, which could revolutionize vision restoration for individuals with severe visual impairments. This collaboration seeks to combine advanced neural technology with innovative ocular solutions to enhance visual capabilities.

Elon Musk announced that Neuralink is aiming to restore limited vision to blind patients as early as 2026, with its Blindsight implant designed to target the brain's visual cortex. This development follows the successful implantation of Telepathy devices in Canada and highlights the potential for significant quality of life improvements for visually impaired individuals. Musk believes that even those born blind could regain sight through this technology.
