When it comes to our eyes, much care is often taken in order to protect it. After all, it is the chief sensory organ that you go by with around the world everyday thus, for some it is important to know the latest eye care trends that they can follow in order to keep their visual jewels sparkling as always.
One of the latest of these trends is the development of liquid based lenses for eye surgery and contact lenses. These basically have the same effects as plastic or glass lenses that are currently being used for treating eye problems. However, unlike conventional ones, liquid lenses offer a lot more advantages. Since these are liquid base, they act pretty much like that of the natural eye lens. And, unlike plastic or glass lenses, these won’t easily break and will be able to provide better protection.
Another trend that is being explored by many eye experts is the use of contact lenses for the delivery of medication. Here, the lens will be coated with the medication that the patient needs. Since the lens is used directly over the eye, one will find it much easier to get medication. There will be no need for using cumbersome eyedroppers, as he automatically gets the medicine once he puts on the lenses.
And though you might not see them soon, smarter contact lenses are actually now on their way. These lenses feature tiny micro-sensors embedded in them. These sensors monitor the various activities of the eye and its condition as the wearer is using the lens. They can then gather up all the data and send it to eye specialists.
And if you think that contact lenses are the only ones getting a major makeover, you will be surprised to find out that the lowly eyeglasses and sunglasses are know becoming even better also. One particularly recent innovation is the development of chemically treated eyeglass lenses that automatically change in color depending on the amount of sunlight hitting them. This means that you don’t have to carry several pairs anymore, as your glasses change depending on your needs.
On the other hand, the latest development in eye examination will surely be welcomed by many patients. More sophisticated means of measuring the eye will mean more accurate determination of eye condition and better prescription/ also, as production improves, one can expect better eyewear that not only meet the user’s need, but will also conform to his preferences.
Though many of these technologies are still in the early stages of development, the rate at which they are being made means that you can get them sooner than you think.
