New Invention Idea!?

Question

How awesome is this idea? How cool would it be to not have to wear contacts, but you dont wanna spend money on lasik? you could buy a small bottle of eyedrops that you would drop one into each eye, and it would be like a built-in contact! Like it would last for like 24 hours. How could would that be. Star this question if you have never thought about that before?!

Answer 1

LOL...If all the technical problems could be solved...I'll invest !

Answer 2

Sounds good...

While you're working in this area, I'd like a bottle which will pour whatever drink I think of.  That should actually be a bit easier of accomplishment.

I will pay in gold (spun from straw).

Answer 3

You would have to find a way for the drop to form the proper degree of correction for each person's particular refractive error. Assuming you could get it to form the proper strength of lens, you would need a way for the liquid to harden or gel-up enough to hold it's shape once it is in the eye. Whatever method (solvent evaporation, polymer curing etc) that is used to produce the "hardening" effect can't hurt people's eyes. Also, the formed lens must be able to be removed at some point, so it can't bond to eye tissue.

PS, I gave you a star!
