The latest on bionic eyes...
News 14 Carolina | 24 Hour Local News | TOP STORIES | New device allows woman to see, even without eyes: "(ST. LOUIS) - More than a million people in the United States are legally blind. Many of them once had vision but tragically lost it. Now a breakthrough device could give them back some of their sight.

Some call her the bionic woman. Others call her a medical miracle. But Cheri Robertson has given herself another title:

'I just call myself the robo-chick.'

Robertson is blind, but this device allows her to see, not with her eyes but with her brain! Fifteen years ago, she lost both of her eyes in a car accident. She was just 19 years old."
