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!

Analyzing Astigmatism
What is Astigmatism?
Astigmatism is one of a group of eye conditions known as refractive errors. Refractive errors cause a disturbance in the way that light rays are focused within the eye.
Astigmatism is not a disease nor does it mean that you have ‘bad eyes’. It simply means that you have a variation in the shape of your cornea. Not all corneas are perfectly curved, just as sets of teeth are seldom perfectly aligned. There are many variations that might occur in the corneal surface. The degree of variation determines whether or not you need corrective eyewear.
The tendency to develop astigmatism is inherited; for that reason, some people are simply more prone to develop astigmatism than others are
Astigmatism is diagnosed through the process of a comprehensive eye health examination.
Your Optometrist will recommend corrective eyewear to help the eye focus in a more effective manner.Your Optometrist will perform precise tests during your comprehensive eye health examination to determine precisely the ideal lens prescription.
