The implant is a 2mm chip that contains about 5,000 microscopic solar cells that convert light into electrical impulses.

See the original news report on Science Blog.

Just the beginning of something like Terminator eyes? At the moment not a high resolution, but it doesn’t take too long or the resolution of these chips could become even higher than that of the human eye perhaps?. If that amount of signal bandwidth could ever be accepted by your brains ;)
