The latest in vision technology will no longer need to be put over the eyes—it's becoming part of the eyes. With new contact lenses, able to see magnitudes further than normal glasses, now being experimented with, it's become obvious that vision science has taken a leap forward. First, it was called Google Glass. Now it's something else entirely.
They're called smart contact lenses, and together with a set of glasses inserted over them, they become a quick—and cool—way to view your daily apps. Never mind the ability to see farther than a human has seen before with ordinary lenses. You're also able to process what you see through your social filter, all in the blink of an eye.
The question now: when? Companies currently working on smart lenses hope they will one day replace smart phones as the device of choice. A bold plan to be sure, but one that is becoming increasingly possible.
As vision technology extends into surprising new frontiers, you can count on us to keep your vision and eye health our top priority!
