Smart Contact Lenses

In today's world science and technology has been upgraded to a new level.Now a days inventions are so much unique and helpful. The scientists are working on different field to make the life comfortable. Here we'll get information about such an invention.


Smart Contact Lenses 
At present, working on the development of 'smart' contact lenses is started. It will able to measure pressure within the eye and distribute medicament according to the measurements. The scientists are invented a new material called Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Then, they managed to place powdered silver, with antimicrobial properties, on the PDMS in a precise pattern. Thus Its creating conductive wires.They gave the PDMS- silver a contact lens shape.It could serve as a simple pressure sensor.



A contact lens for continuous measurement of pressure within the eye and transmitting the data to a computer would be very helpful. It would greatly help doctors find out more about glaucoma, a major cause of blindness, and improve the ways of its treatment.
