Seeing infrared: scientists create contact lenses that grant ‘super-vision’

"Researchers have developed a groundbreaking advancement in vision technology by creating contact lenses that enable users to see infrared light, a spectrum invisible to the human eye. Unlike night vision devices, these lenses are entirely transparent and powered by natural processes, allowing wearers to see all visible colors alongside infrared light simultaneously. This innovation not only enhances human vision but also holds potential for applications in assisting visually impaired individuals, improving color blindness treatments, and securing communications through infrared-based messaging."
