Smart Lenses are one of the most fascinating and cutting edge new development in the biomedical technology market! It will provide help with many everyday task in a efficient way to improve our lives. The smart lens is capable of capturing pictures and videos, managing and monitoring certain health conditions, ability to see in the dark, as well improves overall vision with the help of autofocus. With the help of the smart lens its no limit to where our eyes will take us.

Companies had been looking into the development of Smart lenses for a while. There has been a trial of something similar to smart lenses google developed a mechanical eye. "Google says it could remove the eye, inject fluid into our empty eye lens capsule and then place an electronic lens in the fluid"(David Goldman). The idea of this didn't catch on because people weren't to big on removing an eye and replacing it with a mechanical one. The ideas of this invention did live on through the smart lens. The main problem occurring with developing the contact lens was finding the proper material needed in order to produce this sort of lens. They needed to find biocompatible material that didn't scratch the eye but also could fit many sensors and meet the qualifications of being transparent and flexible. When researchers tackled that problem in the development process they needed to figure out a way to protect people using this device. The problem was the smart lens would need to be hooked up to a computer system that would store the data. The smart lens would carry a lot of personal information as well would make it extremely easy for law and hackers to identify users. Google also states “Could make the mechanical lenses personally indentifying information so that your information stays secure”(David Goldman). Its necessary to remain vigilants and monitor the safeness and actual privacy of these devices, as there is still much unknown about the function of smart lenses and their advanced capabilities. Nevertheless, the research conducted thus far has been helpful for the scientific community and will be key in advancing the biomedical industry in the future.
