Augmented contact lenses hit significant milestone: Essentially a standard contact lens that fits on the surface of the eye in exactly the same way as the visual aids we currently use, these augmented contact lenses fit in wireless power, active or passive displays, control circuits and plenty more.

Power is delivered to the lens wirelessly, using a form of radio transmission from a transmitter in the user’s pocket, which can provide 100µW of electricity.
