have made an amazing break through,
The
continuous monitoring provided by the contact lens could come in handy for
people suffering from glaucoma. This lens can monitor changes in intraocular
pressure throughout the day, and can responsively release drugs to alleviate
the glaucoma. A similar lens, called Sensimed
Triggerfish, has received regulatory approval in the United States and Japan.
Thanks to the ubiquity of electronic devices, we are currently living in a world constantly bathed in electromagnetic radiation. Although a clear consensus is absent, studies have pointed out that exposure to electromagnetic radiation could possibly induce some effects in human tissue. Engineers in South Korea have applied a layer of graphene to contact lenses to help shield the eyes from electromagnetic radiation. The thin graphene layer also reduces dehydration, what an amazing invention being able to monitor eyeball pressure changes throughout the day.
