Engineers at the University of Washington have for the first time used manufacturing techniques at microscopic scales to combine a flexible, biologically safe contact lens with an imprinted electronic ...

Scientists created contact lenses with nanoparticles that let humans see invisible infrared light signals without power.

Scientists have developed revolutionary contact lenses that grant wearers the ability to see infrared light—a feat humans ...

They enable "super-vision" by converting infrared light into visible light. The post Infared contact lenses invented by ...

A cashier wearing the contact lens would be able to scan and process coupons and price ... It’s just one line in the patent, but it’s there: “Retinal analysis of a user can be performed ...

This article originally appeared on Massive. The contact lenses used by 45 million people worldwide to improve their vision could someday help monitor health by sensing when levels of disease ...

Scientists have created contact lenses that they claim allow people to see in the dark with the help of infrared sensors.

A new type of contact lens from Johnson & Johnson filters out blue light before it can hit the retina. Blue light is a form of high-energy light that sits just after ultraviolet light on the visib ...

multifocal contact lenses focus light in two basic ways. The center portion of the lens corrects nearsightedness so that distance vision is clear, and it focuses light directly on the retina.

Because the contact lenses have limited ability to capture fine details, due to their close proximity to the retina, which causes the converted light particles to scatter, the team also developed ...
