Bionic Contacts Our Future

A new contact lens embedded with electronic circuits could be the seed for "bionic eyes" that can see displays overlaid on a person's field of view. The minute circuitry could aid the vision-impaired or could be used to create tiny but discernible readouts offering data such as driving directions or on-the-go Web surfing.
You've seen the TV shows and movies, someone implanted with electronic devices that give them super human powers, including super vision. In reality, the best we can do is a set of binoculars, or strap-on night vision goggles. But that all could change as engineers work to supercharge contact lenses.
