Two blind men can see again for the first time in more than two decades after an implant of a 3mm 'bionic eye' microchip.
Doctors believe in time Chris James will be able to recognise faces, once his brain learns to see again.
Chris, from Wiltshire, said: 'I've always had that thought that one day I would be able to see again.'
Surgeons in Oxford, led by Professor Robert MacLaren, fitted the chip at the back of Chris' eye in a complex eight-hour operation last month.
