Alphabet's autofocusing contact lens won't be tested in 2016 Bad news if you were hoping that Google's (now Alphabet's) smart contact lenses would be available relatively soon: they're running into some hurdles. Novartis, which is partnering with Alphabet's Verily Life Sciences on an autofocusing lens that addresses farsightedness, says it won't make its goal of testing the technology in 2016. It's "too early to say" when trials would start, a spokeswoman explains to Reuters. It's also uncertain when tests for the other lens, which monitors blood sugar levels, would likely begin. Both of these options are sorely needed by millions of people. I'd be very keen to try the autofocus lens out. See http://ift.tt/2gbrLUy
