Hail The Contact Lens That Can Cure Glaucoma!

Scientists have developed a contact lens that is capable of curing glaucoma permanently. 

This idea has been on the card for fifty years, but technical obstacles have meant that it reminded firmly in realms of science fiction. 

Now however, the 'smart' contact lens that can release medication directly into the eye could finally be a reality. 

Researchers at Harvard Medical School, Boston Children Hospital and MIT worked together to develop the contact lens that could treat glaucoma, the world's number one cause of irreversible blindness.
