Laser eye surgery ... in the cockpit

Via Defense Tech:
I think we all winced when we read, back in September, about the Delta pilot who was hit in the eye by a laser while flying a 737. Or about the 20 year-old Los Alamos intern who was zapped during a July experiment.

Air Force researchers must not have liked what they read, either. That's presumably why they're looking to develop a contact lens that can protect against laser blasts
Defense Tech will join the sideboard soon. It's a one-stop shopping dream of high-tech military and law enforcement story ideas. I particularly like this and the article about Chicago's "gun listening posts."

  1. The point being you could wear laser proof contacts while undergoing laser eye surgery thereby sending the deadly beams ricocheting around the room like in the laser surgery scene in Logan's Run right?

  2. Yes. And then, once the doctor has been liquified, I can make off with his prescription drugs and Farrah-Fawcett- like receptionist.
