Four score and thirty minutes ago, I thought of this idea. We should take the concept of those eyeglass lenses that darken in the presence of strong light and apply it to contact lenses.
Only the area around the pupil would darken so your eyes wouldn't look like brown splotches and as an added bonus,
if you ever lost one, you could just shine a strong UV light over the area. The reason behind this is that contrasting lenses actually react to UV radiation instead of visible light. That is why they do not darken when you are inside.

Light Sensitive Contracts, now that's an idea |
|
| |
How would they know the location and size of your pupil? |
|

I see now that these are available, but I think you still have to import them yourself from Asia. <link> |

Bristloz, measure the size of your pupil. If the same amount of light comes through all the time because of darkening, then your pupil will stay pretty much the same size. |

That's not true [DesertFox] different people have different size dilation given the same light levels. |

I said measure YOUR pupil. That was for you, not for Bob down the street. |
|
| |
What I meant was as the contacts darken, they let the same amount of light in because they just block the excess light. |
