Title: LED mounted in a contact lens for possible virtual / augmented reality displays

Description:
Every so often, internet news aggregator sites run a story about a research group that put an LED into a contact lens, then inserted it into a rabbit's eye. I figured that I would try the same thing, but put the lens into my own eye. I accomplished this by laminating a coil of wire and an 0402 surface-mount LED between two ordinary soft contact lenses. I was hoping the lenses would stick to each other, but they did not, so I ended up fixing the edges together by pinching the plastic together with hot tweezers. This held well enough to capture a minute of video with the LED illuminated in my eye. For video purposes, I mounted the LED facing outward. An actual VR/AR display would have the LED facing inward.I powered the LED by using a very primitive spark-gap transmitter built from a mechanical relay to send RF energy into a larger coil held near my eye. The large coil coupled the energy into the contact lens coil and pulsed the LED.http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/11/single-pixel-contact-lens-display.htmlhttp://www.cs.uic.edu/~kenyon/Papers/Soft%20Contact%20Search%20Coil.Vision%20Research.Kenyon.pdf

Apr 26, 2012 - try pinching the lenses together,and let them dry out till they're hard ,the re-hydrate them they'll be stuck well. i've ruined lenses buy folding them in half and letting them dry out, you can soak em forever and they never come apart.

May 19, 2012 - useless comment is useless.Can you even read circuits, yet alone "blueprints"?

May 19, 2012 - The idea of adding those wires and sticking two contact lenses together increased the total thickness that makes the upper eyelid push the lens downwards and looses its centration.
