Wired Science reports that a new breed of contact lens is being developed that can time-release medication directly to your eye.
This breakthrough is expected to help glaucoma patients, who routinely skip their eye drops almost 60% of the time -- even though doing so can lead to blindness.
When it comes to skipping medication, Clark himself confesses to never having completed a 10-day cycle of antibiotics in all of the 15 or so times they have been prescribed to him. The reason? He's just too flaky to remember.
Interestingly, the contact lens solution wouldn't be one that would help Clark either. His blink reflex is too strong to allow his eye to hold a contact lens, as he discovered early in his TV days when a news director wanted to get him out of glasses on-camera but couldn't!
