Remember when your grandma used to tell you carrots would make you see in the dark?

Well, f*ck the carrots because these biohackers have come up with something far more badass. Night-vision eyeballs. Really. Biohackers (folk that do DIY body enhancements) from Science for the Masses injected a liquid solution called Chlorin e6, found in a deep-sea fish, into a guy's eyeballs. Into his eyeballs. IMG_20150304_193635482_HDR Apparently the experiment gave the guy night-vision and low light vision for several hours - like Beast from X-Men. IMG_20150304_194737670 Well, JOE didn't see that coming. It was a shot in the dark. We'll definitely have to keep an eye on how the technology develops. (Okay, okay, enough awful night/vision eyeball puns). All we know is we should probably follow Blue Peter's advice - 'don't try this at home.' (Image: Science for the Masses)
