Israelis invent colorblindness-correcting contact lenses

Good news! Amazing stuff!

"Two Israeli researchers report that they can correct deuteranomaly, a form of red-green colorblindness, with customizable contact lenses.

As reported in the Optical Society journal Optics Letters, Tel Aviv University’s Sharon Karepov and Tal Ellenbogen incorporated ultra-thin optical devices into off-the-shelf contact lenses."
The second researcher has a fascinating name literally translated from German into English: Valley Elbow. I do not remember, I have ever come across a last name of Ellbogen.
