A group of independent researchers announced this week that they successfully induced night vision in humans by administering liquid solution directly into the eyeball.
A group of researchers published the results of their open source experiment and a detailed description of its work. In a liquid solution that “turns on” night vision, contains a substance called chlorin e6 (CE6). This unique a substance whose properties are used in some treatment methods cancer, produces deep sea fish.
To introduce CE6 into an experimental person’s eyeball, the researchers dripped the substance into the conjunctival sac which passed CE6 to the retina.
According to the report, after the introduction of the substance, the effect of night vision lasted for many hours, not one hour as the researchers suggested. During this time, the participant in the experiment at In poor lighting conditions, I could clearly distinguish between about 50 meters. To evaluate the effect of night vision, a control a group of four other researchers conducted a series of tests of vision in a dark field.
Experience included three forms of subjective testing. Being in the dark, a person with night vision should not only describe objects removed at different distances from it (including moving), but also describe their color.
In principle, the subject accomplished his task: he was able to detect and recognize objects, symbols and people being in the dark field. Under the influence of CE6, a person consistently described characters that were not visible to other people, while his remote identification rate was 33 percent.

To get more accurate night vision effect data with varying degrees of coverage, the team intends to conduct a number of various experiments, the results of which we look we will expect.
