Is Google Getting Ready To Sell Its Smart Contact Lens?

Google’s wearable devices haven’t really taken off. Google Glass was clunky, and its current status is uncertain. Android Wear watches have not exactly been selling like hot cakes. But the company has also been working on a smart contact lens in its Google X research lab that potentially wouldn’t suffer from previous wearable tech’s awkwardness problem—and Google might soon be bringing it to a wider audience.Google showed off potential designs for how it could package a smart contact lens. The lens the company announced it’s working on in 2014—which looks a lot like the one in this application’s drawings—would be able to measure a wearer’s glucose levels by analyzing their tears. This could potentially remove the need for diabetics to prick their fingers and draw blood to check their blood-sugar levels.
