Lasers bounce off the back of the eyeball, and structures in the eye scatter the resulting beam of light."

    Imagine what a rifle scope built with this technology would do for Soldiers on the battlefield. Well-aimed fire is one of the primary factors that decides who wins in a firefight. The military would definitely profit from wide-spread use of super vision lenses.
