“Smart” contact lenses may someday be used to monitor patients’ eye health. A team of scientists in South Korea packed incredibly small electronic circuitry, batteries, and an antenna into a soft contact lens, which can continuously screen eye fluids for telltale signs of early eye disease, or illnesses such as Diabetes. Although initial tests in humans and rabbits have been promising, a large scale trial on humans has not yet been conducted. This research holds tremendous potential in innovating the ways we detect and prevent potentially blinding eye diseases in the future. Learn more at http://bit.ly/2GpRt5b
