Google patents device that you inject into your eyeball - CNET

Up next in "terrifying things I don't ever want to have done": Google has filed a patent for a vision-correcting electronic device that has to be injected directly into your eye.

The device, Forbes reports, is designed to help the focusing of light onto the retina, resulting in the correction of poor vision. It will contain its own storage, radio and lens and will apparently be powered wirelessly from an energy harvesting antea. Presumably, you won't need aerials sticking out of your eyeballs.

Although Google has filed the patent, that's no guarantee that we'll be seeing the idea come to life any time soon, or even at all. Many patents are filed by tech firms and never see the light of day.

This is one, though, that we'll keep our eye on.
