IN THE NEWS: Researchers, with funding from DARPA, are developing contact lenses that will have magnification capabilities allowing wearers to zoom in and out. Current prototypes are able to magnify an object up to 2.8 times and scientists hope they will soon be able to match the same visual acuity as un-aided vision. Although it’s not ready for human testing yet, the prospect of it predicts a future where we may be able to start leaving our binoculars at home. goo.gl/Vixkd
