Reply to comment by Artanthos in I wonder how the would will interact with those of us who get eye implants/AR contacts by crua9

Chances are AR contacts will happen in 5 years, where robot eyes in 10 or 20 years. Keep in mind robot eyes will most likely require medical approval, brain implants, and so on.

And chances are by the time we get robot eyes we will have a brain bank implant. Where it stores all our day to day. Everything we see, hear, etc and we can recall it in an instant.

Eyesight without eyes has been around for years.

It does require brain implants, it is low resolution, and it’s not legal to do the surgery in every country.

Actual cybernetic eyes will likely take longer than 20 years, just for the medical approvals.

IDK why someone downvoted you.

Anyways, what we are talking about here is elective surgery. By then it is likely we will have stuff like brain implants that act as memory banks. Where everything you see or hear will be recorded. Like a blackbox in your head.

Like you mention we are really really early in this. As far as my understanding, those who get this surgery today only can see basic shapes. Even ear implants it's early as many run into major problems with them and many finds it helps in no way. Where it can even hurt the person physically. Right now the field is far from user friendly.

But the writing is on the wall

It isn't a matter of if but when.
