"Look out Google Glass—a new kind of eye enhancement technology is in the works," reports HealthLine. "Researchers
from the Wearable Computing Group in Zurich, Switzerland have given
contact lenses a futuristic upgrade. They've developed a light,
flexible, ultra-thin membrane with the potential to detect fluid buildup
in the eye, called intraocular pressure, in cases of glaucoma.
'[T]he
developed technology could find application as smart contact lenses
able to monitor and diagnose glaucoma disease, and it could offer
significant advantages over existing solutions in terms of thickness,
lightness, and transparency and, hence, comfort for the patient,' the
researchers wrote in the journal Nature Communications." Read more.
