The smart contact lenses are made by google and they have very unique functions. Google signed a deal wit Novartis to produce its groundbreaking smart contact lenses.
The smart contact lenses links the user to the computer chip. interaction takes place when the smart contact lenses transmits whatever it gets form the user to the users phone or computer.
Google and Novartis announced they would first be producing a glucose monitoring lens for diabetics and another lens to treat far sightedness.They both hinted at other uses for the smart contact lenses.
According to Novartis the smart lens technology involves non-invasive sensors, microchips and other miniaturised electronics which are embedded within contact lenses.
This invention focuses on people with eye disabilities.
The first product will help diabetic patients manage their disease by providing a continuous, minimally invasive measurement of the body's glucose levels via a 'smart contact lens' which is designed to measure tear fluid in the eye and connects wirelessly with a mobile device.
Novartis said 'For people living with presbyopia who can no longer read without glasses, the "smart lens" has the potential to provide accommodative vision correction to help restore the eye's natural autofocus on near objects in the form of an accommodative contact lens or intraocular lens as part of the refractive cataract treatment,'
The other type of lens would have a camera inserted into it. It looks at the possibility of shrinking their wearable glass technology to fit inside the smart contact lens. According to Patent Bolt, the system could even be used to help the blind see.
