We all know that Google has been exploring more than one type of electronic contact lens but the new patent published yesterday reveals that Google is willing to take its research much further – to cure humans. The company believes it can cure short-sightedness by removing the inferior biological lenses from your eyes and replacing them with motorized ones controlled by tiny computers. The description and the method mentioned in the patent documents is not for the weak hearted but could cure millions of earthlings from short-sightedness. CNet notes that the complete kit is injected into the eyeball as a liquid, and then solidifies once in the eye. Once solidified, it works in the same way as a natural lens, changing shape in order to focus. You’ll need to wear or carry an external device, which performs the necessary number-crunching, using Bluetooth or similar to transmit instructions to the artificial lens in your eye.
