FDA approves contact lenses that shade the sun
April 13, 2018 by Robert Preidt
FDA

The lives of contact lens wearers just got a whole lot easier.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first contact lenses that can act like sunglasses.

A special additive automatically darkens the lenses when exposed to bright light, while they become clear again in normal or dark lighting conditions.

This could be really good for those prone to macular degeneration.

Cool!  I wonder if they can make them tint a certain color, for instance like Bolle CompetiVision sunglasses ...
