Bionic Eye Gives Blind Man Sight 203

AmigaMMC writes "A man who lost his sight 30 years ago says he can now see flashes of light after being fitted with a bionic eye. Ron, 73, had the experimental surgery seven months ago at London's Moorfield's eye hospital. He says he can now follow white lines on the road, and even sort socks using the bionic eye, known as Argus II. I wouldn't go as far as claiming he regained his sight, but this certainly is a biotechnological breakthrough."

Ok, I'll bite.
There is plenty of description in science. How do you know if your "how" matches the "what" if the "what" isn't known in great detail? They couldn't describe electricity before it was observed, so would you say that the experiments in which the empirical properties of electricity were explored should not be classed as science?
