• Visual acuity could improve to the extent that one could visualize the cells on one's fingertip held ca 1 cm from the eye.
• The possibility exists that the lens could be configured with a battery which could power something like a Bluetooth which could turn the lens into a permanent computer screen. (The media have grabbed onto this with snippets from "The Bionic Man" and "Robocop".)
• The factory in Delta, BC, when all is approved, could produce 50,000 lenses per day.
