Liquid Crystal Contact Lens: The Future of Vision Correction?

AI Thread Summary
Liquid Crystal Contact Lenses could revolutionize vision correction by utilizing materials with a negative index of refraction, potentially adjustable with a liquid crystal solution. There are existing innovations in eyewear, such as liquid crystal glasses designed for cataract patients, indicating progress in this field. The discussion highlights curiosity about the feasibility and timeline for developing such contact lenses. Participants express interest in further research and sharing relevant studies on the topic. The exploration of liquid crystal technology in vision correction remains an exciting area of development.

Would it be possible that Opticians will be selling to visually impaired people, Contact Lens, made from a material that has a negative index refraction, that theoretically could be altered with a Liquid Crystal "Eye-Drop" solution?

Basically how far are we from a Liquid Crystal Contact Lens? :biggrin:
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
i read somewhere in the net that there is already an invention of eyeglasses with LC as filters designed for people with cataracts.kewl!i'll try to find it then i'll post it here.

btw, hi forum!
 
Well I would be amazed?..but I had found some webpages that have LQ Glasses, but not actual Cataracts.

The original Question related to a paper I had recently read, which filled my mind with some aspects of thinking, relative to the Question?..I will dig out the paper and links, as soon as I have completed some urgent work.

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
