A group of biohackers has tested a special liquid by injecting into the eyeballs of a volunteer that provided him night vision. In the injection, the liquid used was Chlorin e6 (or Ce6), chlorophyll analog, which is found in deep-sea fish known for having light-amplifying properties. The liquid was put into volunteer biochemist Gabriel Licina's eyes.

Licina said, "To me, it was a quick, greenish-black blur across my vision, and then it dissolved into my eyes". The experiment was successful and then after an hour, he was taken out in a dark field. He was made to perform a number of performance tasks in order to tests his night-vision.

The group said that the volunteer's enhances vision was at a range of around 50 meters. He was also able to identify distant figures with complete accuracy. In the experiment, control group was also present.

Volunteers in that group could identify the figures with 33% accuracy. It has been found that the super-vision effect lasted for many hours and then Licina's vision returned to normal. The group thinks that the results would further be developed to improve the vision of search-and-rescue teams, soldiers and people having vision problem.

The group members said that more tests will be needed. Also, it is considered that a new type of delivery system for the Ce6 might be needed. The group said that now the next thing in their to-do list to conduct more rigorous experimentation, so that exact effects of the Ce6 on the eyes can be determined.

In the next test, it will be seen as how much a subject's night vision can be improved using this procedure.
