Scientists have developed 'night vision' contact lenses that enable wearers to see in the dark. The futuristic technology, pioneered by researchers at the University of Science and Technology of ...

“Evolution has avoided this for a good reason.” Nevertheless, the authors think that their lenses can be further optimized and foresee several possible uses for the invention.

Human vision is limited to a relatively narrow section of the electromagnetic spectrum. Night-vision goggles allow people to see infrared but are bulky and require power. According to a new study in ...

Scientists have developed contact lenses that allow people to see in the dark. In an extra futuristic twist, they even work better when people have their eyes closed.

The contact lens technology uses nanoparticles that absorb infrared light and convert it into wavelengths that are visible to mammalian eyes (e.g., electromagnetic radiation in the 400–700 nm ...

The lenses were tested on both mice and humans, and the results suggest this technology could one day replace bulky night vision gear with something much more discreet.

Contact lenses can make your life a lot easier -- no more glasses to scratch, step on, or lose. But using contacts safely does take some effort. It’s a little too easy to skip cleaning them ...

Contact lenses carry an increased risk of eye inflammation and infection, Boparai says. He adds that proper contact lens hygiene includes rinsing the lenses for 10 to 20 seconds before wear and ...
