Sounds interesting.

The research team believe that their idea, when refined further, could be of benefit to people who suffer from more difficult-to-treat vision issues.

"We now live in a world where displays are ubiquitous, and being able to interact with displays is taken for granted," said Prof Brian Barsky, from UC Berkeley, the project leader.

"People with higher order aberrations often have irregularities in the shape of the cornea, and this irregular shape makes it very difficult to have a contact lens that will fit.

"In some cases, this can be a barrier to holding certain jobs because many workers need to look at a screen as part of their work. This research could transform their lives."
