Re:Graphene Gives You Infrared Vision in a Contact Lens (2014) by ohazi on Saturday November 05, 2016 @06:06PM (#12882174)
Terrible, horrible click-bait title.

Lenses. do. not. work. this. way.

You can't coat a contact lens with a magical coating that expands your ability to see.

This particular technology allows you to build infrared light detectors, as in photo cells or pixel arrays. You can make them as thin as you want -- they're going to do fuck all on a contact lens.

This whole article should die in a fire.

Technically you could cover your eyes with an anisotropic photon up/downconversion material and "see" infrared/ultraviolet. But yes, clickbait.
