The human eye is a perceptual powerhouse. It can see millions of colors, adjust easily to shifting light conditions, and transmit information to the brain at a rate exceeding that of a high-speed Internet connection.

But why stop there?

Here is today's addition to the WITII list (What if the Impossible Isn't?)  I've been writing more about AR lately (who hasn't) and expect to continue as both research such as this and infant applications increasingly merge into the mainstream.  Glasses and goggles make sense too and may be possible sooner.  Implants have additional benefits and applications.

This is a longish article, at least by today's online reading standards, but it is well worth the read to get a glimpse at what is currently possible and what is about to be.

Eyeglass lenses are commonly made from plastic, including CR-39 and polycarbonate. These materials reduce the danger of breakage and weigh less than glass lenses. Some plastics also have more advantageous optical properties than glass, such as better transmission of visible light and greater absorption of ultraviolet light.[1] Some plastics have a greater index of refraction than most types of glass; this is useful in the making of corrective lenses shaped to correct various vision abnormalities such as myopia, allowing thinner lenses for a given prescription.

To be a real smart online shopper, try combining online coupons with automatic free shipping based on shopping cart total. Some online stores offer free shipping coupons and other stores offer free shipping based on a minimum dollar amount spent. For example, there are opportunities where an online shopper can redeem a dollar off coupon and also get free shipping based on shopping cart total.

Contact lenses are made differently depending on the condition they are trying to establish eye. For example, your optician if you have astigmatism will measure your cornea, so that contact can be made exactly to fit your eyes. By doing this for a switch that will fit your eyes perfectly and direct light rays at a point on the cornea, which in turn corrects your vision.
