The End of Glasses? Eye-Shaping Contacts Might Prevent Nearsightedness
Unless you're a Hipster, eyeglasses are a major pain: kids wearing them get bullied, they're expensive, they don't play well with sports, and they can't make up for perfect 20/20 vision. Finally, there may be a cure for nearsightedness ("Myopia") on horizon. Biomedical scientist David Trolio has experimented with a new contact lens that prevents the eye from malforming in the first place, by refocusing light as it hits the eye. He and his colleagues at State University of New York (SUNY) College of Optometry "successfully reduced the elongation of the eye that causes myopia progression."Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/EEREK4UnaDM/
