Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: New soft contact lenses use upconversion nanoparticles to convert infrared light into visible light. Unlike night-vision goggles, which can only see ...
The global rise in ocular diseases, largely due to insufficient ophthalmic diagnostics and monitoring, has emphasized the need for better treatment methods. Pioneering developments in therapeutic and ...
Polarized lenses, like UV sunglasses, protect your eyes from sun damage. While they do offer UV (ultraviolet) protection from the sun's rays, they also have other added benefits. Why are polarized ...
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 ...
Scientists have created night-vision contact lenses that they claim can grant people "super-vision." The lenses — which use nanoparticles to absorb low-frequency light before emitting it in the ...
The first soft contact lenses hit the U.S. market in 1971. Since then, they have developed into more than an eyeglass alternative. Contacts have become a fusion of comfort, advanced technology, and ...
