LAS VEGAS - Your future contact lenses could give you superhuman vision.
Just one year after eyewear startup Innovega announced a prototype of its high-tech iOptik lenses, the company is showing off the product at this year's International CES.
The Innovega eyewear system is made up of two parts: glasses and contact lenses. The contact lenses give you enhanced focusing abilities, so you can see near and far at levels beyond what the normal eye can see. For example, if you put a finger up to your eye while wearing the contacts, you can actually see the fine details of your fingerprint; whereas, the natural eye can't focus on an object so close up.
When you put on the accompanying glasses, which include flat-panels or micro-projectors that can display apps and media, they create a Google Glass-like experience. Putting on the contact lenses under the glasses will further enhance your vision.
