This is either trolling or a scam. Even if the technology could put imagery on a surface as small as that lens, it would have to be EXTREMELY high resolution to be useful- not 4k, not 8k, more like at least 40k, if not double or triple that. Think about it- even with a good 4k television with a 65" screen, how far do you need to be in order not to be distracted by lack of clarity. Seriously, pause a program and move closer and closer to the screen. Now imagine that screen SITTING ON YOUR CORNEA. We are talking about technology developed thirty years from now, if even possible by then. If by some miracle this was achieved now, we would be looking at a six or seven figure device being marketed as a toy, and the inventors would be looking at the Nobel Prize.

But there's another problem- I do not believe the human eye could adjust itself to view anything nearly that close. Just trying to do so would seriously tax the brain, with painful effects and loss of cognitive ability.
