New
research led by UC San Diego electrical engineering professor Joseph Ford and
UC San Diego alumnus Eric Tremblay is getting a lot of media attention
including stories in CBS
News, Smithsonian.com,
Huffington
Post, Time,
VentureBeat
and New
Scientist. Comparisons to Superman and the Terminator abound, but, in
reality, the telescopic contact lens is designed for patients suffering from
the very real problem of age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of
blindness among older adults in the western world. A press release describing
the research published
in Optics Express explains:
Contact lenses correct many people's eyesight but do nothing to improve the blurry vision of those suffering from age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness among older adults in the western world. That's because simply correcting the eye's focus cannot restore the central vision lost from a retina damaged by AMD. Now a team of researchers from the United States and Switzerland led by University of California San Diego Professor Joseph Ford has created a slim, telescopic contact lens that can switch between normal and magnified vision. With refinements, the system could offer AMD patients a relatively unobtrusive way to enhance their vision. The team reports its work today in the Optical Society's (OSA) open-access journal Optics Express.
Tremblay is currently at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne
(EPFL) in Switzerland.
Here's what you need to know about applying and wearing eye makeup without causing irritation or scratching either your contact lenses or your eyes. Thanks for this..

One of the best information about telescopic Telescopic Contact Lens.glad to drop by your page and found these very interesting and informative stuff.
ReplyDeleteWow! I saw this really great post today how to take care of eye and what should we take methods to fit my eye. Optical Express News I am permitted to begin making games again without much fanfare and even wear eye makeup. Keeping in mind I still have several nights left throughout which I need to wear rather unsexy goggles to stop any mischances rubbing, I might not change anything.
