"Infrared-seeing contacts are here. Transparent, power-free, and wearable, they let users perceive near-infrared light in color, opening doors for superhuman sight and enhanced visual communication."

Imagine slipping on a pair of contact lenses and suddenly being able to see infrared light—without any bulky equipment or even a battery. That’s now a reality thanks to breakthrough lenses developed by scientists that convert invisible infrared into visible colors.
Mice tested with the lenses navigated away from infrared light, while humans could perceive flickering codes and light directions. The lenses even work better with eyes closed, thanks to superior penetration of infrared light.
Infrared Vision Through Contact Lenses
Scientists have developed futuristic contact lenses that let both humans and mice see infrared light by converting it into visible light. These lenses work very differently from bulky night vision goggles.
They don’t need any power source and allow users to view multiple types of infrared wavelengths at once. Because they’re transparent, you can see both regular light and infrared light together. Amazingly, the infrared vision actually worked better when users had their eyes closed."

The new contact lenses allow a person to see in the dark while eyes are closed. Those contact lenses give an IR vision for the user. That means a person can see in absolute darkness.
That ability makes it possible to operate and see in the dark. Those lenses give a person the ability to see thermal objects, which is a good ability for firemen, police, and military personnel.
Intelligent contact lenses are problematic systems for their power supply. Those systems require very small and powerful batteries that a person can switch or load easily. Maybe biological systems like bacteria that produce electricity can give answers to that problem. The answer can be the system that produces electricity from salt in the shell of the eye.
Intelligent contact lenses and sunglasses can give the ability to interact with the internet. The system can have cameras in the frames or in the middle of the lens. That means the "lens" is the screen where data from multiple sensors and information tools are fusion into that screen. The system can show what happens in front of that user.
Then it can collect the data from surveillance cameras and the route to the target. Things like airborne drones can give backup information for the system. This kind of system can also connect with the eye retina implants. There are two ways to make the robot eye interact with brains. The neuro-implanted microchips can be installed in the optic nerve.
It can also be put in the optical lobe of the brain. That kind of system can restore vision to people. The synthetic retina implant, CCD chip can get the electricity that it needs from the optic lobe. Then it can communicate with the brain using wireless or wired communication.
And genetic engineering is the new tool.
Genetic engineering makes it possible to make synthetic biological eyes for humans. Those artificial organs can also replace animal tests for chemicals and cosmetics. Artificial eyes with communication ability with computers can tell how painful some sprays are without harming animals.
But genetically engineered cells can make it possible to restore vision to people using cloned retina cells. Then the genetically engineered cells can be used to replace the neurons. Those cells can make the bridge over damaged axons. And then the programmed DNA can turn those cells that make chains into neurons.
That kind of therapy that is based on genetic manipulation can be the permission of tomorrow. The ability to control the genomes makes it possible to create things like eagle's, or cat's eyes. Which cells surface antigens that fit certain people. Those organs can give the person super abilities. Theoretically, they are as easy to transplant to humans. As regular eye transplants.
