Novartis, Google To Develop 'Smart' Contact Lens
From: ManufacturingNet - 07/15/2014

Swiss drug developer Novartis will team with technology giant Google to
develop a "smart" contact lens that could improve some eye conditions or help
diabetics manage their disease.

Novartis is focused on developing a contact lens that can provide a
continuous measurement of glucose levels in diabetic patients by measuring
tear fluid.

It also said the lens has the potential to help restore the eye's natural
auto focus on near objects for patients with presbyopia who can no longer
read without glasses.
