Futuristic Contact Lenses – Did the movies get it right?

For years we have been watching films that play with the idea of technological breakthroughs. Tom Cruise has been greeted by a virtual sales assistant in the smash hit Minority Report and Gerard Butler has been transported into a shooting game by a fanatic video gamer. In spy films, especially Mission Impossible Ethan Hunt uses contact lenses to get into top secret rooms and Arnold Schwarzenegger brings up his victim’s details on a screen right before his eyes.

And it seems now technology has caught up with these ideas and produced a lens that is truly futuristic.

This new lens projects images to wearers allowing them to read floating texts and emails or augment their sight. The bionic contact has just passed the first set of tests and if successful is going to change the way we see life and conduct everyday activities forever. Researchers and the team behind the bionic contact lens, believing that hundreds more pixels could be embedded in the lens, which could be used in a multitude of everyday uses such as:

•    Drivers can wear these lenses to see journey directions or their vehicle's speed, which could be projected onto the windscreen
•    They could be used to take the virtual world of video gaming to a new dimension, just like Gerard Butler’s Gamer film
•    Provide doctors/nurses/dentists with up-to-date medical information like blood sugar levels by linking to biosensors in the wearer's body

Professor Babak Praviz’s team have already overcome one of the most difficult hurdles; getting the human eye to focus on an image generated on its surface, by adapting the lens to shorten the focal distance.

According to research the human eye can normally only see objects clearly if they are held several centimetres away from the eye. However, before they come onto the market there are more hurdles to overcome. A good power source needs to be found and their microcircuitry needs to be more advance as it can only currently source enough power to light one light emitting-diode.

We’re a little bit excited about these new lenses, it’s a bit Terminator meets Minority Report. They’re certainly going to be the hottest new technology for gamers and are sure to come in useful when wanting to drive safely.

Multiple Christmas parties to attend and only one outfit?

Make your outfot look special every time you wear itA guide in how you can look different by wearing the same ensemble every time.

The Christmas countdown has begun and there is a lot to organise. Your Christmas card list, the presents you want to give, the food you want to serve and of course the parties you want to attend. This festive season is all about making the most out of your time with family and friends, old and new. There is the work Christmas party, your friends’ parties and even the party you would like to throw. That is a lot of outfits to prepare, but how wonderful would it be to find a simple and cost effective way to change the appearance of an outfit, without having to change the ensemble? Sounds impossible we can hear you say. Well, we here at Eyesbright think we can offer you that one piece that will make your outfit look complete and unlike anything anyone has ever seen.

We have found by changing the appearance of your eyes you’re able to transform the overall look and feel of your outfit. If you will be wearing the same dress to a couple of events, no one will notice, they’ll be too busy looking at your eyes and wondering how they’ve changed so dramatically.

Not only can fashion and beauty contact lenses be used to help differentiate ensembles, they’re also brilliant accessories to wear when wanting to express yourself or style. As Christmas is coming why not opt for some amazing red contact lenses or attention grabbing green lenses? If you have always thought style over fashion, at Eyesbright you will discover an extensive collection of contacts that can help define you and compliment your style.

The magnitude of lenses available to you is extraordinary. So much so, narrowing down your selection could prove to be challenging. However, to give you an idea of what you could be wearing over the festive season we have created a list of our recommendations.
