    I guess at least in a future where I can be blinded by a targeted EMP attack that blows out my powered contact lenses i can perhaps also get some replacement electronic eyes (then go blind again when they fail out of warranty)

      Powered contacts would be awesome! Especially if they can let you zoom your eyesight to a degree. Also, skin powered hearing aids!!

        There is a lens material that is currently in development that can change its optical properties based on an electrical current, so it’s entirely possible.

      Don’t forget you’ll also go blind if you don’t pay the subscription fees (but don’t worry, there’s an ad supported plan if you can’t afford Eyesight Premium).
