Inspired by his own struggle with the nuisance of wearing glasses and corrective lenses, [optometrist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opticianai) Garth Webb from British Columbia, the CEO of Ocumetics Technology Corp. helped develop a lens that can be [surgically inserted](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-surgery) in a painless, eight-minute procedure that would correct vision immediately and take away the need for glasses and corrective lenses. The procedure would involve a custom-made lens being folded and injected into the eye. The ingenious lens has the potential to make vision three times better than 20/20. The lens is undergoing clinical trials on animals and then blind humans to ensure safety and performance. It could be available for sale within the next two years. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Permanent Vision Correction:** Developing innovative approaches to permanently correcting vision could disrupt the corrective lenses market. - **Bionic Implants:** Using bionic implants to improve human capabilities could be a disruptive innovation opportunity for various industries. - **Non-invasive Surgery:** Developing new ways to perform non-invasive surgeries could revolutionize the healthcare industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Optometry:** Innovative solutions like the Ocumetics Bionic Lens could disrupt the optometry industry and change how vision is corrected. - **Medical Devices:** The development of bionic implants like the Ocumetics Bionic Lens could disrupt the medical device industry by providing alternative solutions to current treatments. - **Surgical Technology:** Advancements in surgical technology to perform non-invasive surgeries like lens insertion could disrupt the surgical industry and reduce pain and recovery times for patients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Autofocus-Providing Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hightech-autofocus-eyewear.md) - [Vison-Enhancing Eye Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vuity-eye-drops.md) - [Adaptive Autofocus Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ixi-eyewear.md) - [Adaptive Eyewear Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bio-lens.md) - [Adaptive Autofocus Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ixi-2.md) - [Automated Vision Therapy Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-eye-care-device.md) - [AR-Enabled Contact Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mojo-vision.md) - [Bioprinted Corneal Implants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corneal-implants.md) - [Nano Projector Nearsightedness Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kubota-glass-eyeglasses.md)
