Bionic lens can make vision three times better than 20-20

This is the beginning that essentially eliminates all forms of corrective lenses.  Add in the three fold improvement over normal vision and this becomes a profitable trade off.

Now if we can add in a few extras such an ability to sense a wide range of ultraviolet light as well it would soon be unstoppable.

It should not be too difficult to integrate this with computer tech as well to allow data gathering that is noninterfering.

The Bionic Lens is a dynamic lens that replaces the natural lens inside the eye via one of the most common and successful procedures in medicine – cataract surgery. Once there, the lens restores clear vision at all distances without any visual quality problems. It can auto-regulate within the eye by connecting to the muscles that change the curvature of our natural lenses, which allows it to focus at different ranges – potentially much wider ranges than our natural sight is capable of. In addition, because the Bionic Lens responds with less than 1/100 the amount of energy of the natural lens, you can also focus on something all day without any strain on the eyes.

The Bionic Lens could improve on the 20/20 vision threefold. Imagine that you can see a clock’s dial 10 feet away. With the lens you would be able to see the dial in the same detail when it is 30 feet away.



Future Bionic lens could also include projection systems that will give the user capabilities of projecting their phone screen, or integrating NASA technologies to allow for better focusing resolution than anything seen before, or even installing a system that allows for slow drug delivery inside the eye.

Initially the system will cost $3200 per lens without including the cost of the surgery.
