TV contact lenses will make you Goggle-eyed
Television fans will soon be able to watch their favourite TV shows on 'screens' in their contact lenses, experts claim.
Futurologists believe the technology will become a reality within the next decade with television lenses becoming a commonplace purchase.
Ian Pearson of the Future Laboratory who produced the future technology report says the continuing development in the miniaturisation of tech will make such device not only possible but also affordable.
He thinks the lenses - which will have a slight tint but otherwise will look and feel like normal ones - will sell for around £400 and even work when your eyes are closed.
This will mean all those people who say they would rather poke themselves in the eye than watch Coronation Street don't have to choose, they can do both.
"The only hint that they are in your eye may be a slight tint. You will just pop it in your eye in the morning and take it out at the end of the day." said Pearson.
"It doesn't matter to the lens whether your eyes are open or shut, so you could watch the news with your eyes shut as you wake up, or watch a video on the train."
