"In humans, the infrared contact lenses enabled participants to accurately detect flashing morse code-like signals and to perceive the direction of incoming infrared light."
Not what I expected from the title but interesting and also I wonder what would be the applications.

I'm wondering what would be the feeling to have closed eyes and still see sometimes/have some visual activity. Like not be able to rest from vision even with closed eyes.

Probably like sound. Can be distracting or soothing depending on what it is.

There's a disease that does that to you, a bit like tinnitus but in vision.
Sounds terrible if you ask me.

Mega clickbait title, but still very interesting sci-fi level research tech:
Currently, the contact lenses are only able to detect infrared radiation projected from an LED light source

Hats off to the researcher who managed to put contact lenses on mice.

But even if they get something cooler working it would still take 20 years before we see them emerge out of testing (if ever).
I'm still waiting to get supervision with https://ocumetics.com/ and they're stuck doing and redoing tests
They do get acquired every once and then so I suspect they are being stalled with wads of cash so that they don't destroy the eyewear sector
If scientists begin dying mysteriously, these researchers might be onto something! ;-)
