At first, I thought this was the joke… But then realized it’s because catbox doesn’t load for me, for whatever reason.

I use a VPN that won’t load catbox images for some reason. If I turn it off, catbox starts working again.

I don’t see how any amount of zoom is going to see past my ultragigagigantic beer belly.

In the plus package, you get a mini drone with an other camera

Get enough zoom to change your near-clipping plane.

The short version is they have developed a soft robot that can contract to increase the focal point (aka “zoom”) on a lens, and they can control it with eye movements. An actual zoom contact is not available yet, and would probably require another decade of testing and prototyping before a consumer-grade model is available at a reasonable price point.

That makes sense.
Thanks.

That would be insanely handy in surgery. 99% of inner ear instruments look identical at first glance, but have different shaped tips that are plenty distinct under the microscope. Setting up for that shit is a pure guessing game if you have bad eyes.
And vascular… loading and keeping track of 150 suture needles that are 1/5 the size of an eyelash… yeah…

And we still don’t have zoomable contacts.
Matriks404@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I sometimes wonder if the other approach is possible: Enhance our possibilities to see and process much more detail with our brains.
I know some people have better vision than regular people and I always wondered how does that even work.
KinglyWeevil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Most vision problems are issues with the shape of the lens of your eye either causing distortion of the light (astigmatism), or changing the optical focal length of something at a particular distance to something not ideal, causing you to be near/far sighted, or both.
These contact lenses just insert a new series of optical lenses which cause magnification.
The other processes would be incredibly difficult as our understanding of how images are processed by the occipital lobe of the brain are limited at best. You might have some success with the cyberpunk method of a bionic which your brain can be taught to control, or genetic modification to change the density and type of receptors on your retina, or the shape of the eye.
NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Even then, most of the detail in your vision is actually hallucinated. Outside of the fovea, which is densely packed with receptors, your peripheral vision is very much stitched together from low information by the brain.

I would much rather have that in a pair of lightweight glasses than contacts. Put the Zoom button on the glasses arm near the temple, and Go-Go Gadget binoculars

I have worn glasses since kindergarten, I don’t get why people dislike them so much that they rather shove plastic in to their eyes than wear glasses.
Glasses are fantastic, not only do they correct your vision, they also protect your eyes against rain, wind and dust.
BugleFingers@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I got corrective eye surgery cause glasses were an annoyance on everyday life. Can’t see from some peripherals, weight on your nose and ears, annoying when you lay down, cuddle etc. They bump about, and fall off if you’re active (such as parkour and flipping). Also forgetting or relying on them to see was always irritating, they fog up, smudge, etc. Just generally a hassle I did not want to deal with any longer. They also break, are expensive, and potentially need multiple pairs if sensitive to sunlight, have different prescriptions, or need safety glasses.
I’m sure they’re fine for most people but they suuuuuucked in my case.
MoonlightFox@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Contacts gives you full field of vision, and they don’t get dirty. If you are lucky you only have to take them off and on for switching once per month and can sleep with them. I am one of those, and can buy the cheapest contacts too.
In other words, always good vision, with full FOV
Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Ahh, yes! But try opening an oven!
IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I switched to contacts when I got a job where I am required to wear safety glasses. Contacts + the normal plastic glasses is just easier to deal with than having to get and replace prescription safety glasses.

When you get to -7 like me the limits of physics start to apply and the closer you can get the lens to the eyeball, the less distortion you have so you can still read text and stuff which is pretty hard with glasses.
EvilMe@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I have keratoconus, so unfortunately glasses aren’t an option for me. I have to wear these rigid plastic contact lenses to correct for my corneas which bulge outwards kinda like little cones.
sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Peripheral vision mainly
Matriks404@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I agree that they are pretty great, but if you use VR headset, they are fucking annoying.
cley_faye@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Glasses are mildly inconvenient when it’s cold, somewhat inconvenient when you have to wear headgear that don’t take it into account, and very inconvenient when you have to move your head a lot or look down a lot. Anyway, I took the laser instead of the plastic bit that costs a lot and gets lost easily.
…and I keep wearing glasses anyway because the sun is still a thing that exists outside, anyway.
archonet@lemy.lol 2 months ago
I reckon it’s the cleaning.
I’ve never used contacts because the idea of touching my eye squicks me out (even if it’s something meant to go there, just – no.), but having your eyelids do all the cleaning and never having to worry about them getting dirty or scratched is probably something a lot of people appreciate.
Me, I’m happy just using a microfiber cloth and being careful.
