Researchers at the University of Washington have made the first of its kind.

They use extremely small-scale production techniques to attach contact lenses to a printed circuit board and light bulbs, which form a special glass as an electronic eye. This lens is easily fitted as a contact lens and can look through or see what is going on in the outside world that the naked eye can not see.

The glass contains an electronic circuit board and red LEDs to display the image. The researchers tested the rabbit for 20 minutes and claimed it was safe. In the future, they will add a wireless communication system to the glasses. They also hope to use radio frequency energy and solar cells on the entire system.
