Scientists create contact lens that magnifies at blink of an eye

> Pentagon-funded device could help people with age-related macular degeneration by enlarging objects so they can see them with peripheral vision

The only person I know personally with macular degeneration would _not_ be capable of learning how to wink properly to turn on/off the magnification. 8^)  What would be more likely is that they would forget they'd turned it on and freak out because everything was so huge.  I can imagine lots of old drivers causing more crashes because their lenses were on or off or clicking on/off when they were squinting to see something.  Now for soldiers on the other hand... that seems pretty cool.
