A team of bio-hackers from California's Science for the Masses has successfully tested world's first night vision eye drops. The team claims that their eye drops gives an average person's eyes the capability to see in the dark.

Gabriel Licina is the person who agreed to undergo a bio-hacking procedure that would allow his eyes to see even in the absence of light.

The team during the procedure pinned opened Licina's eyes in order to avoid blinking. After being held open, his eyes were then flushed with a saline solution to wash away any possible contaminants, said researcher.

The bio-hackers then poured three doses of microlitres of the black Ce6 (Chlorine e6) solution onto his eyeballs, according to CNET.

As per the team their basis for the night vision experiment was the fact that Ce6 was already being used to help patients with night blindness conditions and to improve eyes to see in the dark.

Licina's eyes were given two hours to rest and absorb the Ce6 liquid, they said. Later after waiting for nearly two hours, he was then asked to identify several markings marked on different items inside a dark area. The markings were nearly 10 meters away from Licina, said researchers.

The team also carried out the test at night where they asked Licina was asked to laser point several people who were hiding in trees. Licina successfully passed each test without any mistake, the team said.

According to Engadget, the control testers whose eyes were not given the night vision eye drops, only managed to be correct about 30% of the time.

After almost 24 hours of the experiment, Licina's eyes went back to normal, the team said. The tea almost three weeks later said in a statement that the procedure had no side effects.
