Imagine putting on a pair of contact lenses and suddenly being able to see things that are invisible to the naked eye.

In previous research, some of the same scientists gave mice infrared vision by injecting the nanoparticles directly into their eyes. Contact lenses are, clearly, a less invasive option.

Yuqian Ma, Yunuo Chen, Hang Zhao Scientists have developed infrared contact lenses that they say allow people to see in the dark — and more shockingly, see with their eyes closed. By combining ...

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 ...

Symptoms may include burning, stinging, blurry vision, redness, or a gritty feeling in your eyes. People who wear contact lenses (lenses that correct vision) may have a higher risk of developing ...

And – in an extra futuristic twist - they even work better when people have their eyes closed. The researchers say the contact lenses could give people 'super-vision'. 'Our research opens up ...

Scientists have engineered innovative contact lenses that grant humans the ability to see in the dark by converting infrared light into visible images. These nanoparticle-infused lenses offer ...

As Dr. Robert Kinast puts it, "We think of contact lenses as being so normal, but 100 years ago, nobody walked around with little pieces of plastic over their eyes." Dr. Kinast, the vice chair ...

Once seen as an alternative for those who prefer not to wear glasses, contact lenses – including non-prescription ones – have become a popular choice, especially among women. In their pursuit ...
