Comment on Infrared contact lenses let you see in the dark

Psythik@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

Maybe it’s just my ADHD, but the article doesn’t seem to be clear on something: do these contacts actually allow you to see into near-infrared as it exists, or do they merely shift the light into a spectrum we can see, the way cameras do? I’m hoping for the former but I doubt we have the tech to allow us to see new colors, simply by putting on a pair of contacts.

(Also, the mental image of scientists putting tiny little contact lenses on mice is hilarious to me.)
