    Is there such a thing as a prosthetic eye that allows the user to actually see? Is any research being done in this field? Thanks.

    you could try using google, but I have heard that an extremely primitive artificial eye was developed in recent years but that doesn't mean its application is in any way practical.

    I do remember seeing a conceptual design of some implantation that was suppose to be placed behind the eyeball which would then transmit to some grafted nerves, however I don't know if they ever got as far as actually getting a guinea pig to test it out considering that technology is constantly evolving and implantation is pretty permanent.

    I mean it could be possible for a person to have multiple operations for replacement, but every operation is considered a risk.
