A DARPA-funded project has built contact lenses that can zoom in and out in to aid those with degrading eyesight. A group of researchers — from the UC San Diego and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) — said in a report that it has built a 2.8x zoom contact lens that could eventually fit on human eyes. The group's telescopic lens currently relies on a set of 3D glasses from a Samsung TV to activate the lens' zooming effect. Eventually, the researchers said, they want to build a lens that wouldn't rely on such glasses to operate.
