Why does it make it obvious for Google to keep track and stay strong in its investments and other technological as well as future advancements? It's primarily because Google does have a lot of finances as "reserves" alongside being one of those firms whose concerns are also about future and not just present. I mean from acquisitions to innovations not just in their mobile phone or hardware segment and also not only software, but also seems like Google are setting a standard nowadays for digital advancement. Google has just filed a patent for a smart device that would be injected directly into your eyeball.

What does it mean now? According to the patent filed, the device would replace the natural lens in your eye, and would be injected with a solution that stiffens thereby attaching to your lens capsule. The device would also mostly be made use for as a way to treat poor vision along with benefitting other things too. The device itself includes a lens and it doesn't end just here, but on top of that it has storage along with different sensors and a battery along with even radio components so it can communicate with other devices.

This is something that comes as a first timer for someone like Google with focus on human organs. Since there are batteries included, it might be obvious that the device will require charging but heck without any cable assistance because the battery draws energy from an external source. It's not clear about its exact work functions but it seriously will not involve any cables for sure.

Apart from Google Glass, the company filed a patent for a smart contact lens back in 2014. This lens was aimed at tracking your glucose levels through your tears, which would be particularly helpful for those with diabetes. These contact lenses now fall under the Verily umbrella, the life sciences division of Alphabet, Google's parent company. It's most likely that this new device will also fall under Verily.
