ditch those night-vision goggles Infrared contact lenses let you see in the dark Mice and humans were able to detect infrared light, even with their eyes closed, with limited resolution.

New lenses turn invisible infrared light into visible images, a study found. Humans can now see in the dark -- and even with their eyes closed -- using nanotechnology contact lenses that turn ...

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 ...

Contributor content. Contact lenses are evolving rapidly with technology, offering users more comfort, better vision, and even health-monitoring capabilities.

If you wear contact lenses, you probably don't think much about them. But they're a relatively new invention -- in fact, the first disposable contact lens wasn't introduced until 1982.

Smart contact lenses have emerged as a compelling alternative. By enabling real-time sensing and controlled drug release directly on the eye, they promise to revolutionize ophthalmic care.

Nanoparticle-infused contact lenses can transform infrared radiation into different colours of visible light, potentially enabling a new form of night vision – no batteries required ...
