The sense of sight is arguably the most complex of the five senses. Take a few moments to consider, what if one day the world as you know it went black…

The ability to see is one of the most intricate processes of the human body. Unfortunately every day thousands of people suffer eye injury or are diagnosed with eye disease, taking away this priceless function.

This sparked Spence’s interest in bionic implants and how close current technology is to reaching what once seemed like science fiction.
