[Science Rumor] Soldier’s night vision goggles replaced by contacts

By now I am pretty sure that everyone is familiar with what night vision goggles look like, especially if you watch any movies or television shows that have a military action type theme; but there is a rumor floating around that these bulky clip-on contraptions have been replace and already live-field tested.

According to the rumor the SEAL 6 team that was involved with the bin Laden raid in Pakistan were using night vision contact lenses to help them see in the dark.

There has been no statement from the U.S. military either confirming or denying that these night vision contacts even exist let alone were used by soldiers in the raid.

The graphic above is just a illustration of how these contacts are envisioned to work
