BLUR
Health product
BLUR is designed to remind contact lens users how long they have been wearing their lenses. Users place the small glass ring from their lens case over their phone camera lens when inserting their contact lenses. Eight hours later (the maximum healthy wearing time), the small glass ring will become blurred due to exposure to air. When you try to take a picture with your phone, you will notice the blurry lens, reminding you to take out your contact lenses. Once you take out the lenses and put them and the glass ring back in the case, it turns transparent again.
An interesting and very innovative design concept that uses an existing technology (smartphone) to leverage a health benefit for contact lens users.
WINNER STATEMENTWe feel highly honored to be awarded the iF DESIGN TALENT AWARD 2021 for our project, BLUR! We hope BLUR will make people more aware of the health issues related to contact lenses.
