A global team of engineers from the UK, US, and China has developed a breakthrough sensor system and manufacturing process to produce ultra-thin smart contact lenses.
The engineers from the University of Surrey – together with partners from Harvard University, University of Science and Technology of China, UK National Physical Laboratory, George Washington University and Zhejiang University Ningbo Research Institute – say their system can be directly incorporated onto soft contact lenses using an easy assembly method. The final design will provide comfort and biocompatibility, robustness, transparency, and detection sensitivity, which outperforms other smart lenses.
Dr Yunlong Zhao, the study’s corresponding author, said devices such as theirs could be used as a
