The solution of nanoparticles called the \u2018nanodrops\u2019 was successfully tested on a pig\u2019s cornea. Clinical trials are expected to be carried out later this year. If the clinical trials on humans are successful, it is expected that the need of eyeglasses will be eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>The leader of the research team, Dr. David Smadja, said that the eye-drops can bring a revolution in ophthalmological and optometry treatment of patients who are suffering from myopia, hyperopia and other refractory conditions. The revolutionary breakthrough in the field was revealed by Dr. Smadja at Shaare Zedek\u2019s second biennial research day, which was held at Steinberg Auditorium in Jerusalem. He said that the nano drops can also be used to replace multifocal lenses and allow people to see objects from different distances. Smadja said, <em>\u201cThis is a new concept for correcting refractory problems.\u201d <\/em>However, he didn\u2019t mention the times of applications which will replace the need for the glasses completely.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"151944\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/wonderfulengineering.com\/revolutionary-eye-drops-developed-israeli-ophthalmologist-can-replace-eyeglasses\/eye-drops\/\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/cdn.wonderfulengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/eye-drops.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"824,549\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{\u201caperture\u201d:\u201d0\u201d,\u201d credit\u201d:\u201d\u201c,\u201d camera\u201d:\u201d\u201c,\u201d caption\u201d:\u201d\u201c,\u201d created_timestamp\u201d:\u201d0\u201d,\u201d copyright\u201d:\u201d\u201c,\u201d focal_length\u201d:\u201d0\u201d,\u201d iso\u201d:\u201d0\u201d,\u201d shutter_speed\u201d:\u201d0\u201d,\u201d title\u201d:\u201d\u201c,\u201d orientation\u201d:\u201d0\u201d}\" data-image-title=\"eye-drops\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog.images\/revolutionary-eye-drops-developed2.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/cdn.wonderfulengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/eye-drops.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog.images\/revolutionary-eye-drops-developed2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"672\" height=\"447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog.images\/revolutionary-eye-drops-developed2.jpg 610w, http:\/\/cdn.wonderfulengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/eye-drops-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/cdn.wonderfulengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/eye-drops-545x363.jpg 545w, http:\/\/cdn.wonderfulengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/eye-drops.jpg 824w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px)  100vw, 672px\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"379116623\" onload=\"pagespeed.
