Blood glucose reading contact lenses

By | 13 January, 2011

From an article in New Scientist:

THE next time you gaze deep into someone’s eyes, you might be shocked at what you see: tiny circuits ringing their irises, their pupils dancing with pinpricks of light. These smart contact lenses aren’t intended to improve vision. Instead, they will monitor blood sugar levels in people with diabetes or look for signs of glaucoma.

This dog thinks this potential development is cool for two reasons a) accurate CGM, b) makes you look like a benign Terminator – total win on both points!
