The study, published in Cell, says that study participants wearing the lenses could identify sources of Near-infrared (NIR) light in a dark room. ‘When participants closed their eyes, their sensitivity to NIR light remained almost unchanged,

Neuroscientists and materials scientists have created contact lenses that enable infrared vision in both humans and mice by converting infrared light into visible light. Unlike infrared night vision goggles,

Humans have a new way of seeing infrared light, without the need for clunky night-vision goggles. Researchers have made the first contact lenses to convey infrared vision — and the devices work even when people have their eyes closed.
