IRVINE, Calif., July 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- EP Global
Communications, Inc. and EPGL Medical (the Company), (OTC-PINK:
EPGL) announced today that Company engineers have invented the
world's first self powered, self contained, power source for
contact lenses. The power supply comes from within the lenses
and is self perpetuating day or night. "Using cutting edge
technology, EPGL has invented a self perpetuating power source for
lenses which does not require external energy such as RF," said
David Markus PhD. "The market for contact lenses as
information data display devices is just beginning and will be a
natural extension of new wearable data devices such as Google
Glass." EPGL intends to license the new technology to
companies who are developing data display for contact lenses.
Researchers are now designing applications for use in contact
lenses for both health care and consumer needs. One use of
powered contact lenses being investigated is for displaying data in
real-time to the lenses wearer about medical data such as their
blood sugar level, oxygen level, heart rate, EKG and many other
possible medical applications. Powered contact lenses are
also being looked into as delivery devices for drugs and other
therapeutic applications.
In the consumer electronics market, powered contact lenses have
promise to display data from the Internet directly into the
wearer's field of vision real-time. "Imagine being able to
have telescopic vision on demand or microscopic vision. The
applications for what people could want to have displayed in their
vision at the blink of an eye are virtually endless," said
Michael Hayes, President of EPGL
Medical. "We intend to license the new power technology for
those applications because the future market is obviously
significant in size and scope."
