"Fish-Eye" Contact Lens Auto-Focuses, University of Wisconsin Study
Imagine wearing a pair of contact lenses that could auto-focus on objects both far and near, giving you a new pair of eyes that don’t wear out with age. That goal -- inspired by the light-gathering abilities of the retina of the elephant nose fish -- took a step closer with a new study published today.
Authors say the research could help people with an eyesight condition called presbyopia, a stiffening of the eye’s lens that makes it difficult to focus on close objects. The condition affects 1 billion people worldwide.
