A discovery has been made of a contact lens that is capable of converting infrared light into visible light, providing the user the ability to see, to some extent, in night.[1]
How it works
[edit]Nanoparticles are used by this contact lens that absorb infrared light and convert it into light that is in the 400–700nm range (visible light). The nanoparticles are able convert near-infrared light(800–1600 nm wavelength) into visible light.[2][3]
Effectiveness
[edit]Although it is a major breakthrough with huge applications, images are blurry and disturbed as the infrared light is converted into visible light at the surface of the lens which means that the image gets disturbed when it enters the eye and is also scattered by the nano particles.[4]
