Revolutionary Scented Contact Lenses: See and Smell Like Never Before?

Perfumery seems to be on the verge of a revolutionary innovation. "ScentVisions, an up-and-coming start-up from Cologne, Germany, has a unique way of combining seeing and smelling: scented contact lenses. In this article, we take a look at the technology behind these fascinating lenses and how they could change the way we experience fragrance.

The idea behind scented contact lenses

Scented contact lenses are the result of years of research and development by renowned perfumers, opticians and material scientists. The lenses are designed to release the fragrance of a perfume through the tear film when worn on the surface of the eye. The result is a continuous release of the chosen fragrance in close proximity to the wearer's nose.

The Technology

Scented contact lenses are based on a special polymer matrix that can absorb and release fragrance molecules in a controlled manner. The fragrance is incorporated into the matrix of the lens and gradually releases the fragrance as the lens is worn in the eye. The diffusion of the fragrance is designed to be comfortable for the wearer without disturbing others in the environment.

Uses and Benefits

For perfume lovers and contact lens wearers alike, scented contact lenses offer many benefits:

1. Personalized fragrance experience: The lenses allow wearers to enjoy their fragrance preferences in a very personal and discreet way, without the scent being noticed by others.
2. Scent variation: The lenses are available in a variety of fragrances, allowing each wearer to choose their personal favorite.
3. Long lasting effect: Scented contact lenses provide a long-lasting fragrance experience that lasts all day without the need to reapply perfume.
4. Allergy friendly: Because the fragrance is delivered directly through the tear fluid, the lenses are ideal for people with sensitive skin or perfume allergies.

With the introduction of these scented contact lenses, a new era of perfumery is about to begin - or are we just intoxicated by the idea that dreams can become reality, especially as April approaches?
