Introduction: A New Era in Eye Health

Every generation brings exciting breakthroughs in eye care. Today, smart contact lenses are leading the way. These lenses are experimental, but they can track eye health in real time.

Companies like Novartis, Medella, Mojo Vision, and Samsung are developing prototypes. These lenses can measure signals from the eye to monitor health. Although they are not yet available in clinics, the research is promising.

Because of these lenses, the future of eye care could be more precise, more personal, and more proactive. Doctors may detect issues earlier and track eye health continuously.

At Optical Illusions: An Optometric Practice, we help patients understand these new technologies while protecting their eyes today.

How Smart Lenses Could Track Eye Health

In the future, smart lenses may be able to:

  • Monitor eye pressure to catch glaucoma early
  • Analyze tear fluid to check for dry eye or inflammation
  • Track blinking and eye movement to reduce strain from screens
  • Support myopia management by monitoring near work
  • Alert doctors to other eye health changes

These lenses act as wearable health monitors, giving real-time information that could change how eye diseases are detected and treated.
