Electronic Contact Lens
Electrical engineering professor Babak Parviz, at the University of Washington/Seattle, has developed a prototype bionic eye-or, at least, a razzle-dazzle contact lens to that effect. Using optoelectronics that uses a wireless RF-powered LED grid on a 1.5 square centimeter flexible, transparent polymer, this device could display a camera image or writing or a television program. It also is transparent for normal vision. MORE

This appears to be a camera lens for displaying information, sort of like a television set in the contact lens. I was wondering if it is possible to manufacture a contact lens that records and transmits what the wearer is actually seeing.
