I’m unaware of any connection here, and this particular technology is in its initial stages of research which makes it more remote from commercialized products.

But I’m not familiar with PROSE, so it’s best to explore potential connections.

I currently wear the PROSE devices I am legally blind without them. Is somehow related to this technology?

I wonder if these will correct eye vision as well? Like if someone were nearsighted (which I am, and already wear regular contacts), would these electronic contacts correct eye vision as well as provide other electronic functions?

I so want these! Hurry and bring them on the market!!

i would be willing to test them now or very soon.

@Jason – I don’t think you’d want to test them just yet, unless you want to risk losing your sight of course

@Italian Baby – Unfortunately don’t know enough about the pros and cons of different materials, especially not at that scale. But yes, it would pose the same disadvantages in its current form.

instead of using metallic component as the circuitry, do you think that it is possible to use polymeric components instead. would it pose the same disadvantages as the contact lens today? as in, for example, one is not advised to sleep with them in the eyes and one easily loses them when we go swimming.

So how can I get to be a tester for these contacts? i work in an army Optometry clinic. My DR would be able to send in reports.

@Lindsey
Sorry for a (very) late reply. I mention above that their plan is to use a combination of radio-frequency power and solar panels placed on the lens outside- and around the iris! So you’re right on the money

@Elijah
Hey Elijah, welcome to Think Artificial!
Repeating a comment is quite unnecessary and please don’t do it again. But you’re new here so don’t worry about the above!

Regarding your statement I’m afraid I don’t follow. Are you referring to Mitch’s comment about Big Brother issues, and what exactly do you mean by size and potential?

Maybe he’s talking about the size of it and its potential? (Forgive me if this spams for it was not my intent and the device I am on is still new to me)

It would be cool if these contact lenses could use florescent solar power to power them… like have mini panels in the tops of the contact container to absorb light energy into the contacts… just a thought, what do you think?

Like a lot of modern tech theres obvious big brother issues with this, but you could say that about almost anything these days.

Hi Mitch. What relations do you see to Big Brother issues?

It is truly amazing how technology has gone so far. Mankind is truly a genius race!

Like a lot of modern tech theres obvious big brother issues with this, but you could say that about almost anything these days. On the whole though I look forward to being able to zoom in on objects, assuming i live long enough to see the tech go mainstream.
