Explanation of Solution

The artificial retinal technology is very expensive but it can be a boon for blind people. There are many blind people present in the world that may have lost their vision due to retinal diseases or because of some accidents. There is no such medicine and treatment developed for the proper cure of retinal diseases so retina implantation is advantageous for blind people.
