Contact lenses have enabled people to see beyond the visible light range, picking up flickers of infrared light even in the dark – or with their eyes closed. The lenses contain engineered ...

The contact lens technology uses nanoparticles that absorb infrared light and convert it into wavelengths that are visible to mammalian eyes (e.g., electromagnetic radiation in the 400–700 nm ...

Unlike night-vision goggles, which can only see infrared light in green, people wearing the contacts can see infrared light in red, blue and green wavelengths. Because visible light is blocked by ...

Scientists have developed contact lenses that allow people to see in the dark. In an extra futuristic twist, they even work better when people have their eyes closed.

But unlike night vision goggles, the contact lenses do not require a power source. They work by converting the infrared light so that it can be seen by the wearer as either red, green or blue light.

The lenses contain engineered nanoparticles that absorb and convert infrared radiation – specifically, a near-infrared wavelength range of 800 to 1600 nanometres – into blue, green and red ...
