Bionic eye will let the blind see

US scientists have designed a bionic eye to allow blind people to see again.

It comprises a computer chip that sits in the back of the individual’s eye, linked up to a mini video camera built into glasses that they wear.

Images captured by the camera are beamed to the chip, which translates them into impulses that the brain can interpret. —Bionic eye will let the blind see (BBC)

Hooray for the proper use of “comprises.”
