Blink twice to zoom: Scientists create new contact lens that will change the sight game
After reading about this scientific innovation, you will agree that the future is really here.
Science and technology is moving at a rapid pace and a school of thought believes that in the future, there will be no need for humans in the workplace - at all. Another innovation has been added to the mix and it has to do with vision.

VT reports that scientists at the University of California San Diego have developed contact lenses where if you blink twice, it zooms - pretty much like your smartphone.
"Shengqiang Cai and his colleagues created a lens that is controlled by your eye movements. It moves side to side or up and down, depending on where you look. And all you have to do to create your own camera lens is blink twice," it was said.
The scientists have taken the electricity from the eye (who knew that it was hiding there?!) and then created the futuristic lens to match that energy. The lens is made out of specialised polymers.

Forget sight. Zooming is the future to get a better look at things.
