How bionic eye helped me see again after six years: Mother tells of 'pure joy' after seeing a car and being able to read a clock after revolutionary device is fitted
Rhian Lewis, 49, from Cardiff, said it 'felt like Christmas Day' when she was able to read a clock again and could see a car in the street after becoming the first Briton to have a revolutionary bionic eye fitted. The mother of two - who began losing her sight when she was just five years old - can also identify everyday objects such as cutlery once more, as well as enjoy simple pleasures such as seeing the sun shine. 'It's pure elation,' she said. Actually an aspirin-sized microchip, the implant has been fitted in Miss Lewis's right eye - which lost all sight 16 years ago. It works by catching light and funnelling it to the brain, where it is processed into images.
