Night vision eyedrops allow vision of up to 50m in darkness
Jamie Campbell Friday 27 March 201
It might sound like something straight out of Qâ?Ts laboratory or the latest
Marvel film but a group of scientists in California have successfully
created eye drops that temporarily enable night vision.
Science for the Masses, an independent â?ocitizen scienceâ?ť organisation
that operates from the city of Tehacapi, theorised that Chlorin e6 (Ce6), a
natural molecule that can be created from algae and other green plants,
could enhance eyesight in dark environments.
The molecule is found in some deep sea fish, forms the basis of some cancer
therapies and has been previously prescribed intravenously for night
blindness.
Jeff Tibbets, the labâ?Ts medical officer, said: â?oThere are a fair amount
of papers talking about having injected it in models like rats and itâ?Ts
been used intravenously since the 60s as treatments for different cancers.
After doing the research, you have to take the next step.â?ť
The next step was to moisten the eyes of biochemical researcher and willing
guinea pig Gabriel Licinaâ?Ts eyes with 50 microlitres of Ce6.
The effect was apparently almost instantaneous and, after an hour, he was
able to distinguish shapes from 10 metres away in the dark and soon at even
greater distances.

Now the next question..unanswered here...is what were the effects of

Good points. If you didn’t close one eye when getting some light, it might
take a while to recover.
Yeah....more than 50 years since Ft. Benning, and I still close one eye when
getting up in the middle of the night :)

OTOH, like those Gen NODS - it is a start (and an improvement over
