Am I half Bionic?

We are learning to: understand the features of a head line.

I know I can do this when I write a head line that grabs peoples attention.

Half Bionic!

Surgeons in England have helped a patient from sight loss and have given him a “Bionic eye”. This patient had a vision problem that was related to Macular degeneration. This means over time, the patient lost his central vision until it was completely gone.

The patient was an 80 year old man called Ray Flynn who had only peripheral vision before his surgery. That meant that he was not able to see things in front of him. Thankfully to the glasses and the Bionic eye, it has given him a better vision.

The glasses hold a small camera that sends video images as electrical pulse to electrodes that are planted at the back of his bionic eye. The retina of the eye then passes this visual information on to his brain. They say that this was the only way for him to see.
