Good morning and welcome to Contact Lens TV…

Closing your eyes and drifting away to a different a place is so easy to do. Whether you’re on the bus or in the bath, flying on a trans-Atlantic flight or simply laid in bed, once you close your eyes you can be taken away to a world millions of miles away, that only you know about.

However, how would you feel if you could close your eyes, just like you would above, but instead of your own little world, you see a live NBA game? Or maybe the latest cinema release? Sounds crazy? Well, it may not be as crazy as you would think.

Future Laboratory Consultancy, a firm that advises companies on the latest technological advances, has compiled a report that in the not so distant future, it will be possible to have a TV screen inside a contact lens.

On the surface, the idea seems light years away. However, when in comparison to the forward steps the TV industry has made over the last 50 years, the next 50 years should bring some amazing feats. For example, it wasn’t until the 1950’s that colour televisions were being built safely and effectively. These televisions were, by today’s standards, unsightly and somewhat unwatchable. This was developed over the coming years and today we have ultra-thin, High Definition TV’s – available in screens that fit onto a digital watch face. If someone in the 1950’s was told that in a few decade’s time, they could be watching television on their watch, in such good quality they’ll think they’re in the programme, they would have bet their world that it’s impossible. Now compare that advance to what we could see by 2060 and the idea of Contact Lens TV seems utterly achievable and realistic.
