They warn you about EMF's from cell phone use and electronic equipment ... I don't know about having electronics on my eyes!

Nice comment Marcariel,
I read the article on Hazardous of EMF.Electromagnetic field gives bad effects if present in large magnitude...the circuit here in the contact lenses is very very small and can be powered by radio frequency and solar cells so possibility of such harm is very very less.We can't conclude anything until we get a case....
