The world’s first soft smart contact lens has been validated by InWith. InWith Corporation is a technology company that specializes on ophthalmic and MEMS (Microelectronic Mechanical Systems) technologies.
InWith Corp. revealed its innovative soft contact lenses just before the end of the CES 2022 (Consumer Electronics Show). It will also be made available to the general public, according to the business.
However, the specific date has yet to be determined. Various smart technologies are now being developed to make people’s life easier. Smart contact lenses are one of them, allowing users to access real-time data.
Because a smart contact lens is thinner and less bulky than virtual headsets or glasses, this innovation stands out.
InWith’s Soft Smart Contact Lens
According to CNET‘s latest report, the new soft smart contact lens of InWith can provide details of various things. These include the speed of a car, the correct direction to your destination, and other information that requires a gadget to be viewed.
“You’ll be able to see things such as, What is the speed limit on this road? What direction am I heading? Where is the next exit and how many miles away?” said Michael Hayes, InWith Corporation’s CEO.
He added that it could help persons suffering from Presbyopia in addition to delivering important information (farsighted people).
Because InWith is still waiting for approval from the Food and Drug Administration, the business hasn’t released a demonstration yet.
The approval is expected in 2022, according to the IT business. This, however, would be contingent on the FDA’s determination.
Mojo Vision Also Unveils Own Smart Contact Lens
Smart contact lenses aren’t the only thing that InWith is working on. According to TechCrunch, Mojo Vision has teamed up with Adidas to create a new smart contact lens.
This new wearable device is made for folks who desire to get in shape. The smart contact lens from Mojo Vision may do this by presenting information about physical activity.
