'Super-Vision' Contact Lenses Let Wearers See in the Dark — Even with Their Eyes Closed

These Infrared Contact Lenses Give People ‘Super Vision’

Scientists in China just made contact lenses that let you see in the dark—and they work better when your eyes are closed.

How new infrared contact lenses can help people see in the dark

Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have developed special infrared contact lenses that allow people to see in the dark. Unlike night vision goggles, these lenses require no power and can even function with closed eyes. The researchers of the study said that the technology could also benefit people with colour blindness

It sounds like science fiction for everyday life: a contact lens from a Chinese laboratory makes invisible light visible. Technology could also help color-blind people in the future.

The device, which converts infrared light into visible light within the lens, allows to distinguish light signals and opens the door to expanding the sensory reality of humans Hemeroteca - They discover a new color inside the retina: there is a chromatic palette to be explored inside the eye Neuroscientist Tian Xue and his team from the University of Science and Technology of China have just presented a breakthrough that looks like science ficti…

An invisible night vision device that makes infrared light visible: spies would be thrilled by the super lenses that researchers in China are developing.

People can only see a certain wave range of light. With nanotechnology, researchers have now developed a contact lens that makes invisible infrared light visible so far - even with closed eyes. There are already ideas for practical application.
