Contact lenses could help people with colour blindness
In partnership with scientists at Saint Mary's University, Gabrielle Masone, the CEO of Colorsmith Labs Inc., has developed contact lenses with special light-filtering coating and nanoparticle technology.
Her prototype hasn’t been tested with people yet, but her Halifax-based company -- which she founded in 2017 -- hopes to do that soon. The 28-year-old Colorsmith CEO’s own difficulty seeing colour hues actually inspired her career in vision care.
