Scientists create contact lens that magnifies at blink of an eye

The only person I know personally with macular degeneration would _not_ be 
capable of learning how to wink properly to turn on/off the magnification. 8^)  
What would be more likely is that they would forget they'd turned it on and 
freak out because everything was so huge.  I can imagine lots of old drivers 
causing more crashes because their lenses were on or off or clicking on/off 
when they were squinting to see something.  Now for soldiers on the other 
hand... that seems pretty cool.
