Bionic Contacts: A Close Reality

The human eye is an amazing thing. "It can see millions of colors, adjust easily to shifting light conditions, and transmit information to the brain at a rate exceeding that of a high-speed Internet connection."  But as technology evolves so does the scientific and medical ability of health-aiding products like the contact lens. 

Contact lenses with built-in electronics capabilities are becoming much more marketable than we might even know. The article from  IEEE Spectrum: "Augmented Reality in a Contact Lens" talks about how close we are to this reality. Check it out for yourself and tell us what you think!

And although we don't carry bionic lenses as of yet, we do encourage you to stop by Village Optical and talk to us about your eye care concerns and interests! We love what we do and you'll be able to see the difference!
