Xpanceo has revealed a trio of smart contact lens -protypes on MWC 2025
Technology that appears includes fully remote power transmission
Other prototypes include a biosensing smart contact lesns and a lens that can help control glaucoma
A self -recognized “Deep Tech” company that focuses on the next generation of computing has revealed three smart contact lens prototypes on the MWC 2025, giving us a glimpse of the technology that could shape the visual health of the future.
Xpanceo took the tires from its three prototypes, with each one showing a unique technology that could contain in future “smart” contact lenses.
The company’s prototypes highlight fully remote power transmission (air charging), biosenation and intraocular pressure sensors for handling and detection of diseases such as glaucoma.
Here are the three prototypes and what they could mean for the future of Vision Health. After all, we will gladly wear the best smartwatches and smart rings as Tech progresses, it seems natural that more and more ubiquitous items take the “smart moniker.”

Xpanceo’s first prototype (and these are all Prototypes probably year from production) showing fully remote power transmission technology. Of course, any “smart” device including a contact lens requires from a battery or other source to run. This Prototype technology offers twice range of previous industry solutions that operate a contact lens Wireless From a compact companion unit, such as a contact lens case you would carry around.
Having literal electricity fired into your eye does not sound like a good starting point for any smart health unit, but Xpanceo says its solution puts radiation levels similar to other common laptops, such as the best wireless headphones.

Xpanceo’s prototype biosensor can measure body parameters directly from tear fluid. The lens uses alleged nanoparticles to enable the monitoring of high sensitivity of biomarkers such as glucose, hormones such as cortisol, estradiol, estone, progesterone and testosterone and vitamins B1, B2, B3, E and D.
While Apple is still trying to wrap your head around non-invasive blood sugar surveillance on Apple Watch, Xpanceo suggests a particular more clinical sci-fi future where you can measure body punches through tears.

Xpanceo’s third tech prototype is a non-invasive glauce control system. Using an AI-driven smartphone app and a built-in intraocular pressure sensor, the company says it can provide “instant, very precise measurements” that can be used to detect early glaucoma before significant vision loss occurs.
Xpanceo’s second Smart Lens Tech
Xpanceo also showed improved tech for its smart contact lens with Augmented Reality, which no longer uses external image sources, but instead has an integrated microd display that can display images that can previously only be seen through smart glasses or AR/VR headsets. Finally, the company showed a smart contact lens for data reading using a wireless data transmission antenna to send data in real time from the contact lens to a smartphone.
Of course, it is to show these prototypes away from developing a contact lens that incorporates all of this technology in a commercially sustainable package that can be produced mass. But if Xpanceo can crack even one of these technologies for the mass market, it can have a great health breakthrough on the hands.
