The field of optics continues to progress and advances in this field are coming in leaps and bounds.
Thus, as the years go by, optical equipment is refined in order to offer optimal correction and visual clarity.
Contact lenses are particularly affected by new technological advances.
Contact lenses: A special optical device
The monopoly of eyeglasses was quickly challenged by the arrival of contact lenses.
The small size of these transparent devices placed directly on the surface of the eye has very easily won over many people.
However, for a long time, contact lenses were largely prized only for their discretion.
Thus, the choice of lenses was mainly motivated by aesthetic reasons, which is however still often the case.
All the more so since these devices can also be colored and allow the coquetry to change the color of the eyes.
Today, contact lenses also appeal because of the freedom of movement they offer.
This advantage is often appreciated by sporty people who do not want to be hindered by their glasses.
However, contact lenses also have the particularity of requiring compliance with hygiene and usage rules.
These strict rules can sometimes put some people off, as can a possible apprehension about handling the lenses on the eye.
The future of optics will be contact lenses!
Prescription glasses are still greatly appreciated by the majority of people and are constantly evolving to provide optimal visual clarity.
However, contact lenses are the equipment for which technological advances seem to be accelerating in recent years.
Beyond being able to correct almost all visual disorders, lenses could have an impact on pathologies.
Indeed, while some models already slow down myopia, others will have even more advanced future health vocations.
Smart contact lenses could therefore be used to detect glaucoma.
Indeed, connected contact lenses are becoming more and more sophisticated and could be the equipment of the future.
Featuring virtual reality, these lenses allow you to view an integrated screen in order to work, play online or watch a video.
Smart contact lenses could well be the optical revolution of the future and offer countless possibilities.
So, some people are already imagining changing the color of their contact lenses from a smartphone application.
With connected contact lenses, all futuristic ideas are possible and the range of possibilities is almost unlimited!
