Overview
- The lens prototype combines a flexible 12.5-μm OLED with an embedded antenna and control chip powered by a 433 MHz resonant transfer system.
- Laboratory and rabbit-animal experiments at 126 nits luminance yielded electroretinography signals equivalent to those from standard Ganzfeld devices.
- Animal studies confirmed that the corneal surface temperature stayed below 27 °C and that light output remained stable in humid environments.
- The peer-reviewed results were published in ACS Nano on May 1 and the device remains in preclinical development pending human trials and regulatory approval.
- Researchers foresee applications spanning myopia treatment, ocular biosensing, augmented-reality displays and light-based neurostimulation platforms.
