Contact lenses that measure glucose levels, Uber taxi booking; why can’t afford to take your eyes off disruptive technologies

Yes, a couple of Google scientists are trying to develop revolutionary contact lens that would monitor glucose levels through your tears.

This disruptive technology, still under development, relies on  microprocessors, sensor and antenna, built into a contact len. The scientists also plan to use miniaturised LED lights would help alert users when the glucose levels fly out of the thresholds.
