A Bionic Eye Has Allowed This Woman To See

Thanks to a revolutionary procedure, a woman who had been blind for 16 years is now able to see.

Carmen Torres, of South Florida, is the first recipient of a bionic eye. At 18, she was been diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, in which the vision declines over a period of time, according to ABC station WPLG-TV.

“You have to move forward with your life," Torres, 45, said of her condition at a news conference Friday.
