Newswise — Philadelphia, Pa. (February 1, 2012) – After more than a decade on the market, extended-wear (EW) contact lenses still haven’t caught on among patients and eye care professionals, reports the February issue of Optometry and Vision Science, official journal of the American Academy of Optometry. The journal is published by Lippincott Williams Wilkins , a part of Wolters Kluwer Health.

Despite their advantages, EW contact lenses—which can be worn continuously for up to a month— account for

University of AkronThis image, a simulated version of a contact lens for diabetics that changes color with blood sugar levels, has figured prominently in the University of Akron’s ad campaign, including a regional Super Bowl spot. Researcher Jack Hu has spent the past 8 years working on the technology, and hopes to have a fully functional prototype ready in a few years. CLEVELAND, Ohio — What if a contact lens could tell you how high your blood sugar is by changing color?

3D-Capable Contact Lenses Pair with Smartphone to Shoot Images Directly into Eyeballs

Cheap Contact Lenses — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:21:21 +0000

In the last couple years, many tech companies have been jumping on the augmented reality bandwagon, but there remain few elegant applications of the technology. Now comes an idea by a U.S. company, Innovega, to produce the um, eye-popping augmented reality contact lens, the iOptik. The company has announced they would have the product ready by 2014, and they will be able to project images on the eyeball by making use of a companion pair of glasses acting as a see-through screen.

Innovega says the resulting image would be the equivalent of standing 10 feet from a 240-inch television screen. Connected to a

Business busted for illegally selling contact lenses

Cheap Contact Lenses — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:04:34 +0000

Feeling like changing the color of your eyes with
cosmetic contact lenses? Better make an appointment with a eye
professional.

The state Board of Optometry recently busted the Doc
of Rock shop, 1811 Old Sonoma Road, for selling decorative contact
lenses without a license.

Decorative contact lenses are particularly popular
among teenagers and young adults, but they should only be obtained
with a prescription from an optometrist or an ophthalmologist, the
California Department of Consumer Affairs said last week.

Contact lenses that are not fitted properly may cause
an infection, vision loss and even blindness and eye loss, stateSource: http://napavalleyregister.com/news/local/3ae37b2e-5127-11e1-8f32-0019bb2963f4.html

Virtual Reality Contact Lenses Offer 3D Panorama

Cheap Contact Lenses — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 13:09:35 +0000

Contact lenses that help enhance normal vision with megapixel 3D panoramic images are being designed by scientists using military funding.

For those who do not want to rely on contact lenses, future versions could involve lenses directly implanted within the eye, researchers added.

Over the decades, the video displays that everyone from fighter pilots to the general public use have grown increasingly complex. One possibility for advanced displays is a virtual reality (VR) system that replaces our view of the real world with computer-generated vistas. Another idea consists of augmented reality (AR) displays that overlay computer-generated images over real-world environments. However, these

DARPA Developing Virtual Reality Contact Lenses

The DOD is working on some cool new technology to help with soldiers performing ISR or Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance. These activities require special equipment that can come as a bit of a hassle at times.

DARPA or the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is working on technology that can be applied to wearable lenses to fit in the eye much like a contact lens. The lenses would contain the technology to display a full color HUD that can then display full color digital images; the tech would be used to help heighten the situational awareness of the user.

Washington, Feb 4 (ANI): Contact lenses, which are being designed by scientists using military funding, help enhance normal vision with megapixel 3D panoramic images.

The researchers added that for those who do not want to rely on contact lenses, future versions could involve lenses directly implanted within the eye.

Now, researchers from Washington-based company Innovega, funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the National Science Foundation, are developing novel contact lenses that can help view tiny full-colour megapixel displays.

“Over the past months, we have demonstrated contact lens-enabled eyewear for mobile devices, including smart phones, portable game devices and media
