Scientists in China have developed contact lenses that let wearers see light normally invisible to the human eye. Cooler still, the lenses work better through closed eyelids, and other versions ...

Over time a lens formed at the front of the eye. It could have arisen as a double-layered transparent tissue containing increasing amounts of liquid that gave it the convex curvature of the human eye.

The system contains a sensor, chip and tiny AI model inspired by biological eyes and brains and uses a tenth of the energy of a camera-based system.

This would allow the lenses to transmit computer information or augmented reality displays directly into the wearer’s eyes. And it would all be powered by tears, Yahoo and New Atlas reported.

New lenses turn invisible infrared light into visible images, a study found. Humans can now see in the dark -- and even with their eyes closed -- using nanotechnology contact lenses that turn ...
