The eye drops that give you NIGHT VISION: Liquid solution allows researcher to see clearly in total darkness
A team of scientists claim it has found a way to inject people's eyes with 'night vision'.
The research gave one volunteer the ability to see more than 164ft (50 metres) in almost total darkness for 'several hours'.
By injecting his eyes with a liquid solution, he could spot people running among trees in dark conditions 100 per cent of the time, while others who hadn't been treated with the drops were successful in only a third of cases.

Californian researchers have developed a liquid that enables night vision. The solution combines Chlorin e6 (Ce6) with insulin and saline. A small amount of it was dripped it into a researcher's eyes. It briefly turns the eyes dark or black before it is absorbed, seen in this image of researcher Gabriel Licina
The experiment was carried out by a group of so-called 'biohackers' in California called Science for the Masses.
They used a solution of a substance called Chlorin e6 (Ce6), which is found in some deep-sea fish and has light-amplification properties, and is also been used in cancer treatment research.

- Solution uses Chlorin e6 (Ce6) insulin and saline to enable night vision
- A test subject was able to see in darkness 'for several hours'
- Ability wore off the following day, with 'no noticeable effects' after 20 days
- But researchers warn of a high risk of cellular toxicity as a result of the solution and said chemicals should be 'handled with caution'
