Telescopic contact lenses zoom in and out with the wink of an eye
Researchers from the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have developed contact lenses that have tiny telescopic lenses built in to boost vision. Controlled by smart glasses that react in response to the winking of an eye, the device allows the wearer to zoom in on objects by providing magnification up to 2.8 times that of unaided human eyesight.

Why bother when one can buy a 10X hand lens for $30?
(OK, it’s an interesting step.)

They don’t do movies where they drop their contact lenses down the sink anymore. Why? What happened?

I built one like that, using a pair of mirrors to correct strabismus. This one seems more advanced.
