Welcome to a preview of Eye2, a new Vision Monday monthly e-newsletter and companion section in VM’s print edition that will cover exciting, fascinating and edgy innovations in vision technology.

Want to learn about new types of eyewear that offer features such as smartphone connectivity, a built-in video camera and GPS? Or an electronic eye training system that can improve your golf game? How about artificial retinas that are restoring sight to people with vision loss, or an experimental, ultrathin flat lens that could outperform conventional lenses?

From Google Glasses to bionic eyes and beyond, Eye2 will inform ECPs about up-to-date information about new technologies that are expanding not only the capabilities of eyewear, but the potential of human vision. Each month, VM’s group editor for lenses and technology, Andrew Karp, will introduce you to leading thinkers and innovators who are changing the optical industry with new products and ideas that are redefining our vision of the future.

Here’s a look at some highlights of the preview edition of the Eye2 newsletter, coming soon on VisionMonday.com.
