Remember when your grandma used to tell you carrots would make you see in the dark?
Well, f*ck the carrots because these biohackers have come up with something far more badass.
Night-vision eyeballs. Really.
Biohackers (folk that do DIY body enhancements) from Science for the Masses injected a liquid solution called Chlorin e6, found in a deep-sea fish, into a guy’s eyeballs. Into his eyeballs.
Apparently the experiment gave the guy night-vision and low light vision for several hours – like Beast from X-Men.
Well, JOE didn’t see that coming. It was a shot in the dark. We’ll definitely have to keep an eye on how the technology develops. (Okay, okay, enough awful night/vision eyeball puns).
All we know is we should probably follow Blue Peter’s advice – ‘don’t try this at home.’
