An interesting read in the Metro yesterday! It seems there’s no end in sight for the wonders of science and technology! (See what we did there?) For according to researchers in the US and Finland, we may soon receive emails and texts right before our very eyes. Wearers of specially developed contact lenses designed for this purpose will receive hands-free ‘info vision’ streamed across their field of vision. Think rolling news streamed along the bottom of a TV screen during a news report. Currently the contact lenses only contain one pixel, but researchers are working to improve this, so eventually they might also be used for gaming, navigation, and the monitoring of glucose and lactate levels within the users body, helpful perhaps for those with diabetes or certain food intolerances. If you aspire to be the next terminator sent from the future to destroy mankind, it could come in useful! However f you need an excuse for still not responding to that e-mail, you might just come unstuck!

November 23rd, 2011Contact Lenses of the Unique Type
September 2nd, 2011At eye form we pride ourselves on the range of quality eyewear that we stock. Brands including Rayban, Chopard, Prada, Roberto Cavalli and Fendi and amongst our collection. In addition we stock a comprehensive range of contact lenses by leading brands which can be viewed on the website at http://eyeform.co.uk/contact-lenses .
What might be less known is that Kanti here at eyeform specializes in unique or hard to make contact lenses as well. These hard or rigid gas permeable lenses are made specifically for a patient according to their unique needs. In addition haptic lenses can be made for those who have keratoconous or similar cases of complex corneas. These we will require appointments in consultation with Kanti where the patient and optician will work in conjunction to produce the best results. Often this will take a number of appointments, discussion and time itself in order to achieve the optimal results. If you feel that this is a service you could benefit from or use then please contact us via phone or through the website.
On a similar theme but of a lighter note Kanti also can create specialist contact lenses and shells for a variety of reasons. In the past this has been done for film, TV and music videos some quite unique lenses.
Many film companies employ the services of eye specialists in order to create these special effects. Perhaps my favoutite and the best known of these of course is Michael Jackson in his famous Thriller video where he used a range of different lenses to such spectacular effect.
Again if this is a service that perhaps could be of use either for personal or business purposes we would encourage you to get in contact with the staff at the practice to enquire further.
It seems as if the weather in London is back to a bit of late summer sunshine and it still gives a chance to get yourself a new pair of sunglasses. At the moment we are doing great deals on many of our range as the summer draws to a close so it would be a good time to cash in on this. As always keep a lookout for futher details and contact via Facebook and Twitter. To all of our valued patients and customers have a great weekend .
