(Nanowerk News) Researchers have incorporated ultra-thin optical devices known as metasurfaces into off-the-shelf contact lenses to correct deuteranomaly, a form of red-green color blindness. The new ...

Contact lenses may be useful for restoring vision to people who are short- or long-sighted, but they're less useful at correcting color blindness. Now researchers from the University of Birmingham ...

Researchers have developed a contact lens that may help people with color blindness simply by using a low cost dye. Researchers at the University of Birmingham have developed a contact lens that may ...

New contact lenses that incorporate gold nanoparticles could one day offer a safe, convenient way for people with what’s commonly known as red-green color blindness to better distinguish those colors ...

Imagine seeing the world in muted shades -- gray sky, gray grass. Some people with color blindness see everything this way, though most can't see specific colors. Tinted glasses can help, but they can ...

Color-blindness, also known as color vision deficiency or CVD, affects approximately 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women around the world. It’s an incurable, inherited condition that makes it difficult to ...

A group at Tel Aviv University has incorporated metasurface elements into the surface of conventional contact lenses, offering a potential route to combating a particular form of color blindness. The ...

Daltonism is a specific type of red-green color vision deficiency, also known as color blindness. People with red-green color vision deficiency may confuse colors that contain red or green elements.
