That's really really really really cool!!!!

One thought though:

Or what if you get virusses onto your eye. HSV in the eye can be really bad.

You might dissolve the substance in listerine, which should kill bugs and was shown to deactivate virusses. Though I doubt there has been experiencecon listerin in eyes.
Maybe ethanol + zink ions (also deactivates some virusses)

I have had Listerine in my eyes and I can confirm that it is minty and incredibly painful.

Cool article!

I thought it was April 1 when I read this. I have no problem with people trying to fix themselves from fatal or debilitating disease. I am fine with diy gene therapy and other drastic measures in such cases. Have at it. 

In this case, I am the cranky old man. You are going to put an eye out! 

First do no harm.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

If you have no sense and can't conduct a risk benefit analysis. Risk =  I will need a white cane for the rest of my life, benefit= I can see in the dark better for a little while. Decide which eye you want to be blind in if things don't go as well as you hoped. Then experiment on only that one eye. Then you will have one working eye left.

Unless your tinkering leads to an autoimmune reaction against the other
eye, and you lose your sight entirely. Yay!
