Why We Still Don't Have Smart Contact Lenses
Ғылым және технология
As nanotechnology has advanced, smart contact lenses are becoming more of a reality. Companies like Mojo Vision and Innovega have working prototypes and are close to bringing this technology to market. But we're still years away from getting them into our eyes. We explore the challenges this industry has overcome and is still facing.

Right now its to replace damaged ears, but soon we'll cross the line and willingly remove our natural ears for ones that perform orders of magnitude better via augmentation. The same will go for your eyes. You may say "never". But what happens when you're being denied a job because you can't compete at the level of those who are augmented? Its the next human revolution that has been popularized by such stories as the deus ex, and cyberpunk games. Those that refuse (or are too poor) to augment themselves will fall incredibly behind those that are. Think of today with modern computing.

If the lens is on the eye and it shows an image a bit to the side, you naturally would move your eyes to look towards it to see it clearer, but the image moves with your eye so you can't. This creates a problem. The image can't be on the center either since that would block the person's view..

@@Laurarat Yes it is simple at today's age but there are many complexities in it still. It would need some sort of AI for it to differentiate between a eye movement just to see the surrounding or to see the notification. One possible solutions would be to use a blink as an indicator but I don't think that anybody would want an indicator that a human would constantly do, ie blinking thus making it again difficult to differentiate. Another issue is that it the eyes would move at all times. Little yes, but they would cause the notification to remain at the same place again causing a problem since you want it to continuosly be on the side, which can distract you thus eliminating the use of a complex solution if it would again lead to the same effect, distraction

I am weary when it comes to my eyes though, I’ve had patients with sclera abrasions (tiny scratches on their eyeball) and it is truly painful and very dangerous and scary. I mean it’s your VISION for God’s sake. Wouldn’t these smart lenses have a small battery thus meaning there is technically electricity right there on your eye? What if it malfunctions? Not to mention the hardness and rigidity of the lens, it would definitely have to be custom fit. Help people buy these colored lenses on line that are soft fit and they can scratch your eyes up so bad that you go blind because everyone’s eyes are different. You have a certain curvature of your eyeball with length, width and depth and there’s a lot to it. Bottom line... be weary of putting anything on or around your eyes. I’d feel much better just wearing a pair of glasses. Maybe not Google Glass lol but something where the “lenses” are screens, etc..

maybe there would be like a contact lenses customization fit to your eye. It's possible because you know people (not all) would do anything to advance. Also, there's an electrical component inserted in your eye but common sense will tell you that's a bad idea if things fvcked up. And all products does not last forever. It would eventually get broken, when that time comes. How would you know if that technological contact lenses is still okay to use?

I can't wait for smart contact lenses - it's the future we all wanted (so long as there's no ads)
I've been wanting this since the original GITS. If you know what GITS is, you have wanted this for just as long. When this tech peaks, we will finally be able to function to our greatest capabilities without any kind of physical or gene enhancements!
I can see an issue with Eye strain, as well as would they need to be taken out of your eyes and cleaned every hour? Is there any blue light filter? And does the "3D object" stay where it is or does it follow wherever you're looking?
This would be my dream, I wear contact lenses daily because I’m myopic and I would love if I could also see other stuffs, images, maps, streets directions and so on.
nice video with good info, thanks!
Application in aviation can be massive! From the private pilot, to the airlines, to the astronauts. Wearable heads up displays!
Thanks for sharing this!
I’d just like contacts that solve my age-related vision issues, which cause me to need multi focal contacts plus readers for small print. 🙄
I am introduced to this concept only now but it is extremely cool
The contact lens version wouldn’t be able to project to the side of the field of vision, or the wearer’s eyes would try to track to it, and it wouldn’t be able to focus on the optic disc (blind spot), because the image would not be seen. That doesn’t leave much room in the field of view for displayed information.
Ok I’m confused as far as longevity of the lens. The sclera lens makes sense, because they are able to be cleaned completely you can keep the same lens as long as you don’t need a prescription change. But a soft lens, at most, isn’t approved for longer than 3 months (that I know of). So do they expect you to buy a new set multiple times a year?
The necklace idea is amazing, but I think that just eyeglasses is the best, make the same thing but with eyeglasses so it wouldn't be super thick. You can also process on watch for example.
Of course i would go for it by all means Very informative & interesting read alright..!
I think smart glasses r more comfortable.
It’s fascinating tech. The idea of companies being able to push notifications directly into my eye annoys me already, tho.
How you charge theme exactly?
Imagine just strolling down the street and an ad just covers your entire vision
Pretty interesting. I wonder how does it work 🤔 is there a battery inside the lenses?
This is actually a topic of my research in school.
Great video..
How does focus work?? Since it is literally on the eye? Wouldn't it be blurry? Much like when you look through a window with a net, doesnt it just blur to the point that you don't notice it?
Wow in the future there might not even be an interface like a phone or TV. Imagine all technologies projected from your eye with augmented reality, Your phone might just be a floating screen that materialises when you want it
A lot of ranch owners talked about never getting 'iron horses' in the early 1930s... Now we are arguring if it's ok to have 'smart lenses' or insertion of data directly into our heads...
30 years from now it will be cool to be able to have moving images as part of the iris and pupil like a black hole accretion disk or flames. It will be like a much better version of Crazy Lenses.
I'd be happy with varifocal glasses which switch seamlessly between long and short vision.
I would wear them. My issue is the additional hardware that I would be needed to warrant it's use. Where would the camera be to do object recognition? Would I use my phone's sensors? The sensors needed to locate my focus. Would you have a camera looking at my eyes? A 3dof on the lenses?
Where can i buy these contact lenses
As long they still put prescription on the smart contact lenses, I would were them.
The better way perhaps is giving a live video feed directly into the visual cortex. Neuralink will really shake the world and will be the first. 👍

How about the lenses adjust your eye prescription every once in awhile for when your eyes change.

I have been terribly vision impaired all my life. I have a full range of colors and I can see technically. Everything is blurry, badly blurry. I would love for this technology to be able to give me the power to focus in and out. I realized I’d still be wearing contacts and or glasses but I want to be able to focus
How to buy it
how do you see it though? eyes only focus on a single area unlike screens, and since the contacts move with your eyes you wont see
