Conclusion Eye implants have a long history revolving around many different scientists , theories and experiments . 3D bioprinting is a great opportunity for scientists to make new inventions in the field of prosthetics . With dozens of next-generation implants in development a wide variety of bionic eye technologies should be available within a decade .
