    Israeli scientists have developed a technology that may enable people who are blind from birth to see, with the help of a bionic contact lens.
     
    The new technology, developed by a team at Bar-Ilan University, has yet to receive approval for clinical trials, but its feasibility is currently being tested on seeing individuals, with the aid of a model simulating the bionic lens.
