    But wouldn't not doing the iris part defeat the purpose since that is where the light enters your eye? Correct me if I'm wrong. #transitioncontacts

    @Bigbadbikernerd: Best movies Vin Diesel ever did, can't wait for more Chronicles.

    Unfortunately, if the video game is canon, this ability is bestowed by a voice in his head, not the doc (Pope Joe just fixed his arm). It's apparently part of his Furyan abilities. I like the "shine job" explanation better. #transitioncontacts

    @FigNinja: Nike used to make colored contacts specailized for the sport you are playing. They have been discontinued though. You don't want to dim *all* light when you are playing a sport. You want to filter out colors.

    Example: For golf nike had grey-green contacts. Green light was filtered out so you could pick up the white golf ball better. #transitioncontacts

    Once they "isolate the photochromic material to just corneal region of your eye", they can start working on colored dyes to turn your iris's into spinners. #transitioncontacts

    Okay I love the concept. It's from the future and makes up for our current lack of a flying car in every driveway and aluminum foil evening wear. But I can imagine their business meetings though...

    "Hey we can make these augmented reality contact lenses with LEDs and micro laser beams."

    "Ummm, but wouldn't be easier to put that display in a pair of glasses?"

    "Dude, did you not hear me? LASER BEAMS IN YOUR FREAKIN EYEBALL BEAMING YOU SHIT!"

    "Yes, well point taken, but really don't you think most people would rather just put on a pair of glasses then stick a contact in their eye?"

    "I can't talk to you. You just don't get it man."

    now, I'm no expert in biology, or nanotechnology, or anything at all really, but wouldn't it be best and/or easier and/or more efficient to get the energy through the heat of the eye or some other direct method from the host?
