How is this possible? In the simplest of terms, the scientists measured the electrooculographic signals generated when eyes make specific movements (up, down, left, right, blink, double blink) and created a soft biomimetic lens that responds directly to those electric impulses. The lens created was able to change its focal length depending on the signals generated.Via: CNET

Will contact lenses soon give you superpowers? Researchers at the University of California - San Diego announced the creation of a new type of contact lens that can zoom in if you blink twice. The lens can detect specific eye movements and is able to change its focal length based on the signals it picks up.
