Scientists invent micrometers-thin battery charged by saline solution that could power smart contact lenses::Scientists from NTU Singapore have developed a flexible battery as thin as a human cornea, which stores electricity when it is immersed in saline solution, and which could one day power smart contact lenses.
You only have to cry once a day to power your contact lenses!
Perfect for all wage slaves in the us then!
Very cool technological achievement, but eye-batteries don’t necessarily sound all that safe, non-corrosive/toxic or not, it’s still a constant reaction to create and store electricity in a very vulnerable location.

I could see some cool military applications for this too.

Saline is what you are supposed to wash your eyes out with when you get something in them in addition to being what contacts are stored in every night
