Researchers at the University of Science and Technology in Hefei, China, have developed innovative infrared contact lenses that enable human beings to see in the dark by converting infrared light into visible light. Using nanoparticles, the lenses modify infrared wavelengths to create visible images. Though the images appear blurry due to light scattering, these upconversion contact lenses (UCLs) signify a leap forward from traditional night-vision devices, offering a more practical solution for low-light visibility and enhancing both comfort and usability for nighttime activities.
The researchers created contact lenses that convert infrared light into visible light, allowing human vision in dark environments without bulky equipment.
Although the developed infrared contact lenses produce blurred images, they represent a significant advancement in technology, allowing for practicality and ease of use.
