I can see clearly now/rev II

An elegant solution to old guys like yours truly as seeing far away is not a problem but seeing close up surely is. :)

It sounds like a medical breakthrough straight out of science fiction, and for the time being, it kind of is. It will take years before the contact lens can function as promised directly on a human eye. The prototype only functions in a special rig using several components that will have to be dramatically miniaturized before a human could wear it, and the test subjects look less than comfortable with a series of electrodes placed on their skin around their eyes. But it demonstrates some fascinating uses of existing technology that could make contacts a viable alternative for more users.

The only problem is, what happens if the power craps out? For this rube, glasses with this tech would work without issue.
