"A new contact lens embedded with electronic circuits could be the seed for "bionic eyes" that can see displays overlaid on a person's field of view" researchers say. Did you know that people have made contact lenses that can give you a readout such as driving directions or the go web searching. First they had to find out how to get the surface of the lens so the electronics didn't block regular vision.The researchers also had to find out how to get electric circuit onto the contact lense with only a slight increase of weight. Instead of putting the direct circuit on the contact lense they made a nano size metal components and mixed them together so that they appeared like a fine powder.This powder was then placed in a vial of fluid and poured over a pitted lens surface.
This is fascinating not only that the lense can help you in many different ways it could also just be used for simple everyday things like driving a car a short distance. In conclusion I wonder if you could be able to see the little electromagnet on the lense when you are wearing it. What would happen if the powder slid off would it just be a normal lense?
