In this article I read, scientist have been trying to give people a new outlook on life, night vision. Discovered in the early 90’s dragon fish can see in the dark from the plant matter they eat. The chlorophyll ingested by the fish from plants somehow seemed to give them a the ability to use certain chemicals in chlorophyll and see red, basically making them see in the dark.
Good and safe ways to deliver the drug or night vision enhancer are trying to be found out daily. Maybe eye drops would be the easiest and most effect full way. This way it could be put into the eyes of whomever wants to see in the dark. Currently the U.S. army is funding most of the research because they will highly benefit from night vision. That will mean they don’t have to carry night vision goggles so they save weight.
How much money is being invested into this project and what percent of that money comes from the military?
What kind of side affects may be present after the drops are inserted directly to human eyes?

This right here is pretty cool… As far as the cost of this I wouldn’t imagine it wouldn’t cost to much seeing that this extract comes from a plant, I could not find any info on how much money is being invested into this project. As far as the side affects maybe, it could cause temporary blindness or ever permanent blindness so.. this is something I personally would like but would only try if there was a little more knowledge to it first.
You know it would be pretty crazy but even if they did the research and everything on animals it still wouldn’t be very accurate because there isn’t many animals that see like we do. The closest is the hunting birds but they can see even better than us. I read in this article about all the animals visions at http://www.eyes-and-vision.com/how-animals-see-the-world.html
