- The lenses do not require a power source
The new world of contact lenses has arrived: ones that allow individuals to see in the dark with their eyes closed.
In the journal Cell, neuroscientists explained how they created contact lenses that make the breakthrough possible by converting infrared light to visible light.
Per the research, there is no power source necessary, and the wearers can see both visible and infrared light simultaneously, with the latter increasing when one’s eyes are closed.
