    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

    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

    for enhanced night vision, most psychedelic drugs will dilate your pupils quite a bit.

    of course, this comes with the added complexity of not only seeing your night time surroundings better, but also seeing things which aren't really there, and differentiating between them while in an altered state.

    YMMV.

    Will it cost $6Million? I would not want Polarization as tilting your head would make LCDs blank. I've encountered some car dash electronics that are LCD based and with polarized glasses, you can't read them! (way to go Subaru Engineers).

    I would like the option to see a great spectrum. Infrared would be nice. Then I could hunt at night without any addons..

    Nearsightedness is an advantage for people working with near field objects. We can see things at a much higher apparent magnification and clearly focus on things much closer than someone with normal eye sight. Of course the downside is that everything at a distance is a total blur. But that's what glasses and contacts are for. I am quite happy my eyes suck.

    In the last case, the paraplegic wasn't downgrading his vision, he was correcting is presbyopia, something which occurs later in life. His world would now mostly be near requirements, like reading/computer/tv (which would require more adequate near vision), and the surgery is improving his quality of life. So now he needs glasses for driving? I'm sure he won't mind.

    Laser vision correction was the best elective surgery I've ever had. Seriously, it is great, I got LASEK (not LASIK). Painful but I don't have to worry about a flap coming loose.

    Only downside, occasional dry eye that, I've heard, is exacerbated by weed. So I've heard.

    @Norbs: LASIK has a faster recovery time but the flap doesn't heal with the structural integrity of the original cornea, leading to a risk of the flap being dislodged by impact or eye rubbing. I play contact sports so that risk was unacceptable. Besides, who doesn't like a good eye rub now and then?

    @The Lab: Yeah I got LASIK and I rub the hell out of my eyes... it seems pretty solid but the contact sports thing might be worth the extra recovery time. I just asked because my bud got the same procedure you did because his cornea was too thin for LASIK.
