Look into my eyes
And feed me a cracker:
Professor Jin Zhang of the University of Western Ontario has developed contact lenses which could help monitor diabetes by changing color with the user’s glucose level variations. The users will be alerted to dangerous sugar levels with a change in lens color, without needing to undergo regular blood tests. The hydrogel lenses are embedded with nanoparticles which change color by reacting with the glucose in wearer’s tears.

I had some contacts early on that would turn red when somebody hit me in the eye hard.
My eyes do that without contacts. Sounds like you got ripped off.
