Reply to comment by crua9 in I wonder how the would will interact with those of us who get eye implants/AR contacts by crua9

Eyesight without eyes has been around for years.

It does require brain implants, it is low resolution, and it’s not legal to do the surgery in every country.

Actual cybernetic eyes will likely take longer than 20 years, just for the medical approvals.

IDK why someone downvoted you.

Anyways, what we are talking about here is elective surgery. By then it is likely we will have stuff like brain implants that act as memory banks. Where everything you see or hear will be recorded. Like a blackbox in your head.

Like you mention we are really really early in this. As far as my understanding, those who get this surgery today only can see basic shapes. Even ear implants it's early as many run into major problems with them and many finds it helps in no way. Where it can even hurt the person physically. Right now the field is far from user friendly.

But the writing is on the wall

It isn't a matter of if but when.
