Night Vision Tech Shrinks Into Contact Lenses

casualSTEM delivers brief and informative summaries of the latest science news every Saturday. Full of jokes, silly polls, and a cartoon!

Red Eyes

Contact lenses are getting the nano-tech treatment. Researchers developed lenses that can see near-infrared light.

• Near-infrared light = just beyond visible spectrum’s red end

• No interference with normal vision

• Function better with eyes closed

Infrared light’s ability to penetrate skin enables closed-eye-sight, though vision is clearer with glasses due to retina-proximity. Potential uses include night vision, rescue operations, and encrypted communication. Infra-REM sleep must be wild.
