Smarter eEyes Focus on Cure for Blind

By designing electronic-eye (eEye) implants using fractal interconnects,
researchers aim to overcome the mismatch between using conventional image
chips in bionic eyes. 

Today, several efforts are under way worldwide to create silicon retinas that
can be implanted in the eyes of the blind, thereby enabling them to see
again, albeit at vastly reduced resolution. Now researchers are aiming to
remedy that by replicating the fractal-like interconnection topology of real
eyes.
