An apparatus and method of placing a glaucoma vision implant, including a vision restoring prosthesis enclosing the vision restoring prosthesis with, a transparent casing, the vision restoring prosthesis including a photoreceptor component and a nano-fiber optic bundle component. The photoreceptor component is wirelessly powered and includes a microelectronic artificial vision array that carries micro photodiodes and has a shape of an intraocular cataract lens. The microelectronic artificial vision array is implanted behind a pupil of an eye. The nano-fiber optic bundle component abuts a lateral geniculate nucleus and may include the micro photodiodes and/or electrodes that abut by negotiating insertion of the nano-fiber optic bundle component into an optic nerve and an optic tract to reach the lateral geniculate nucleus. The lateral geniculate nucleus is stimulated to process vision by the nano-fiber optic bundle component.
