Wow this truly does seem like science fiction!!

The contacts, which only need to be worn on one eye, can be switched on and off by closing the eyelids
They use sensors to detect the length of an eyelid closure - and distinguish blinks from voluntary movements
Sony's contacts also detect blinking while video is recording and can erase black frames that result from it
The system is equipped to correct tilted images, get rid of blur and control focus and aperture
Users can play videos by switching to display mode with a different eyelid movement set in advance

Sony has come up with intelligent contact lenses capable of recording and playing video - all with the blink of an eye.
The Tokyo-based firm filed a patent application, published earlier this month, revealing how the smart lenses would use movements of the eyelids to activate various functions, CW33 reported.

Seven Japanese inventors designed the contacts, which would include a camera, a wireless processing unit and a storage unit.
This means the lenses could store their own video - unlike Samsung's smart lenses patented earlier this month, which rely on a smartphone.
