I saw a heartwarming video of two daughters giving their father a pair of glasses that allowed him to see in color for the first time in his life. He was born colorblind. The video was amazing. The glasses must have been something super.

It can certainly be done. The article says that they did glasses as well.

Infrared contact lenses allow people to see in the dark.

I wonder who will be the first to use them en mass? My guess is the military and security forces. They will finally get out to the general public, though, some day. I look forward to the time they put the infrared nanoparticles in regular glasses, though.
