Wouldn't you need much more than 10Mbit/s before the lens, if it's getting compressed down to 10Mbit/s after the lens?

That is, unless you're talking about injecting that data directly into the optical nerve.

The only way it's below 10Mbit/s if you have a cataract and are legally blind. Or it's dark.

The eye has significantly more bandwidth than 10Mbit/s - it's "reality" in front of the retina, (say, 20-30K) a bit above 8K at the retina (rods/cones), and almost the same in the optic nerve.

We can see/study data directly on the optic nerves now, and understand pretty well how common aberrations or deformities affect the retina.
