South Korean scientists have developed experimental contact lenses that deliver electrical signals through the retina to brain regions associated with mood, showing promise in improving depression-like behaviour in mice, though research remains in very early stages.
Depressed mice successfully treated with smart contact lenses that zap their brains – new study

Scientists in South Korea have developed experimental contact lenses designed to send electrical signals through the retina and into brain regions linked to mood. In mice, the technology appeared to improve depression-like behaviour.
The idea sounds futuristic: a contact lens that could one day help treat depression by stimulating the brain through the eye. The work is still at a very early stage, with findings so far limited to a single mouse study.
The eye is alread
