article_snippet.sent: The eye is one of the most complex yet delicate part of the human body.
article_snippet.sent: Now engineers claim to have designed a range of synthetic eyes that may one day let us replace and even enhance us own sense of vision.
article_snippet.sent: Italian bio-designers MHOX has unveiled project is has been working on to 3D print organic tissues to produce working body parts that can replace the eyes of people suffering from disease.
article_snippet.sent: It could mean rather than getting glasses to correct rather vision, people would be able to replace people entire eye.
article_snippet.sent: The MHOX Eye concept (above) is designed to replace and even enhance the vision compared to a normal eye .
article_snippet.sent: The group plan to combine the biological tissue with microscopic wireless technology to provide additional functions and give super human eyesight.
article_snippet.sent: The team behind MHOX say The team behind MHOX synthetic eyes, which include lenses that improves the image sharpness and can put filters over the vision, could be available by 2027.
article_snippet.sent: Under MHOX designs, patients with eye disease will inthe future be able to replace patients with eye disease eye with a synthetic one printed in a laboratory.
article_snippet.sent: They say a socket that connects the eye to the brain - which would require a surgical operation - would allow eyes to be interchangable.
article_snippet.sent: eyes would come in three different models (above) according to the designs outlined by MHOX .
article_snippet.sent: MHOX propose combining new technology like Wifi with bioprinting to produce an enhanced bionic eye .
article_snippet.sent: The concept sounds a little like something out of the science fiction hit Blade Runner where bioengineers built new eyes for robotic replicants.
article_snippet.sent: Writing on their website, Mr Nassetti and Mr Zomparelli said: 'The installation of the EYE augmentations needs a first surgical operation aimed at installing the Deck, the technology that actually connects the eye to the brain. '
article_snippet.sent: After that, augmented eyes can be easily interchanged by augmented eyes own users without the need of additional surgery. '
article_snippet.sent: The designers say 3D bioprinters could be used to create the tissues to create the complex eye stucture .
highlights_snippet.sent: Italian designers have unveiled a concept for a bio-printed synthetic eye .
