By Year 2025 Doctors May Be Able To Implant A Bionic Eye

The technology already exists.

The article suggests that either 80% of blind people will benefit from this new technology, or that those who do benefit from this technology may have the ability to see with 80% of the vision of a normally sighted person.

The title of the article is a little misleading, as it implies that "People" do not "Actually See The World".

Bionic Eye

Some of the writing is a little misleading - like the title, but if it is true, it is a huge leap forward for those who have lost their sight due to some form of a traumatic accident. It may be that the naturally blind - those born blind - might actually be offended by such technology offering them sight, but if they would like to see (even a little) then this technology might be a boon.

Technology can be either a boon or a nightmare. I would not expect to see enhance vision or vision connected to a computer happen anytime in the near future, but I do think the military might be investigating ways in which such technology could advance their military advantage in the future.

I'm just providing this as an interesting article on new technology - hopefully before it is common knowledge.
