Researchers at the University of Michigan have devised a way to capture the infrared spectrum, which can be made so thin that it can be easily applied on night vision contact lenses.
As an alternative to eye drops, researchers have developed a special contact lens that can be placed into the eye in order to slowly release medication to combat glaucoma.
A team of researchers have created the world's first telescopic contact lens. The "bionic" eye lens gives users "superman" powers to zoom vision 2.8x on points of special interest in their field of vision, like birds of prey, such as the eagle.
