There are millions of Glaucoma patients who lost or about to lose the sight to Glaucoma or just generally the blind which numbers in millions too. I know a person who has Glaucoma.
I just want to know what is the status with artificial eyes and growing optic nerves at present and forthcoming. The visual cortex is at the back of brain. When will we have the technology so the blind can see (even coarse resolution) by directly connecting some optics nerves and retina sensors at the back of the head (by knowledge of some minimum language of the brain and interfacing to neurons in the visual cortex)? That is. If the front is far, then eyes at back of head won't be bad than having nothing to see.
