Exactly, when light is being amplified 200x, a cigaretter would be too bright..

You know, if someone manages to solve the riddle of cns nerve regeneration it wouldn't be out of the question to transplant in an eye with a tapetum lucidum. Probably decades down the road, though some quack russkie claimed to have done a cornea swap with material from cadavers. Might be the same guy who was making multi headed dogs

Honestly though, prosthetics will probably get there first. Can't wait to get mine, you know how many tits we miss out on because we can't discern the infrared spectrum?

Thats why the more modern NVGs automatically block any light source XX% greater than the surrounding light

No kidding.
I'm all for some Gibsonesque wetware.

Yeah, I knew that much. I was commenting specifically on chemical dilation of the eye itself.
