Italian startup MHOX believes it can synthesize versions that would not only correct the eyesight of those with bad vision but augment it beyond normal human standards.

Three types of synthetic eye:

Heal - A basic option that would serve as a replacement for patients who have suffered diseases or traumas related to their eyes.

Enhance - This eye would boost vision up to 15/20 and enable colour filters (turned on and off using pills), in case you've always wanted to see the world like a 1950s camera

Advance - This frighteningly futuristic organ would come with additional glands at the back for capturing and recording what the person is seeing, being able to connect to Wi-Fi to share the resultant images/videos.

The EYE designers believe the products will be ready to hit the market by 2027, though unsurprisingly given the ambitiousness of the plan there is a long way to go before synthetic eyes are a reality.
