Google is developing a new technology, which has not reached the market yet, according to Forbes.
The technology enables users to recover their vision with a device which injects into their eyeball. The news report said the device injects into the eyeball in fluid first and then solidifies to couple the device into the capsule of lens, citing the tech company's patent application submitted on April 28.
According to Forbes, the device has a number of tiny components: storage, sensor, radio, battery and electronics lens. This gets power wirelessly from energy which takes antenna and its eye computer is connected into external device through interface. The two communicates through radio and it has a processor to process the necessary calculation.
According to the patent application, the electronic lens help inject light into eye retina.
This is not the first time Google developed a technology injected into the eyeball, according to the news report. The tech company already began developing Google Contact Lens, which help people with diabetes to measure Glucose level in tears. The lens development now belongs to Verily, which is a life science division led by Google's holding company Alphabet. The new eyeball device is also expected to be run by Verily.
Forbes said Andrew Jason Conrad is the inventor of the device and the head of Verily. He was also involved in the Google's contact lens project. According to Star News, many talented people left Verily because they found it difficult to work with Conrand.
Before joining Google, he worked for Laboratory Corporation of America as a co-founder.
