How close are we to fully-functional 20/20 vision bionic eyes like seen in "Ghost in the Shell" ? What is the biggest obstacle ?
My grand-father and father both had bad eyesight.
I myself have terrible-short sightedness, that is no-doubt exacerbated and accelerated by the heavy need for constant reading and screen use in our technology age.
I have long read, that one of the ways to slow-down short-sightedness or even slightly improve it, would be to spend extended periods in nature, without screen use.
But for most people, we simply don't have the luxury to spend 3 months every year, in nature, not working and without screen use.
Which brings me to the idea of the bionic eye. I remember, watching "Ghost in the Shell" when I was a child, and one of the main characters had bionic eyes.
Something like this;

The first time I saw this character in the show, I thought it was creepy. But the truth is, the more short sighted I get, the more I wish this technology were actually feasible.
It just sucks, that we have to use screens so much everyday, and there is no cure for the short-sightedness thats a direct result of all this screen use !
Like, I just wish there were an artificial eye, that they could just, plug into your optic nerve, fit it right into your eye sockets...and just, restore 20/20 vision.
For those working in the field, what are the burdens that we would need to cross to make this possible?
