Have you guys seen this guy? The Eyeborg Project

He's a one eyed film maker who came up with the idea of putting a camera inside of his fake eye! Watch the video it's pretty crazy stuff.

The Eyeborg Project is the work of Rob Spence, a 36 year old filmmaker residing in Toronto, Canada and Kosta Grammatis—an unemployed engineer from San Francisco, CA.

The eye in question was badly damaged in an accident involving a shotgun when Rob was 13. Rob had his eye surgically removed and replaced with a prosthetic one after enduring ten years of pain. Now, with the help of Kosta and a team of ocularists, inventors, engineering specialists, Rob is building a prosthesis that can capture and transmit video. He will soon be filming the world from an entirely new perspective.

Kosta Grammatis has led the charge to solve the engineering problems involved with the endeavor. In order for the project to be successful the smallest, lightest, power efficient technologies had to be found and implemented. The world’s smallest CMOS cameras—1.5mm square are being used, small enough to be lost in a sneeze.
The video signal is being transmitted wirelessly to be recorded elsewhere by an RF Transmitter that’s smaller than the tip of a pencil eraser, and lithium polymer battery technology is powering the eye. Kosta envisions that the data will be sent to a backpack to be recorded.

I'm afraid I don't see the point of doing that.

I saw that in the news a while ago, it's pretty crazy stuff. A camera may not seem all that much useful, but when we start talking about lasers...ah, that's when the fun starts.

It does raise some interests towards cybernetic eyes. Whether for replacement of a damaged/lost eye or purely for enhancement. If a proper interface could be established with the brain, which I think isn't too far off from being done fairly often if it isn't already, you could have all kinds of 'upgrades' thrown in to the mix. Night amplification, zooming, or the above mentioned taking photographs...stuff like that might be cool to make use of.
