Ray and his pioneering bionic eye
80 year old Ray Flynn has become the world's first person to be fitted with a bionic eye.
20 million people in the world suffer with his sort of sight loss, caused by advanced dry age related macular degeneration (AMD) but now, thanks to pioneering surgery, Ray can see properly for the first time in nearly ten years.
Ray spoke to Ruth and said that he is most looking forward to cooking again and watching his favourite football team, Manchester United.
