As we are talking about a company to help people with medical problems.

Second Sight was giving patients artificial eyes. When they ran out of funding, they closed shop. The patients lost support system for their eyes. If anything goes wrong with their artificial eye, there is no one to repair or fix it. They just have to carry a piece of useless metal junk in their head.
