Lasering Pilots: Anti-Laser Contact Lenses For Flight Crew?

This site is a bit left-leaning for my tastes, but he seems to keep abreast of interesting military developments.

This article notes the work the Chinese and North Koreans are doing on blinding-laser technology (we've pretty much scrapped such efforts, due to a Clinton ban).

And here is an article on anti-laser contact lenses:

The contact lens sits on the eye, the entire cornea and pupil are covered, so there is no chance of a reflection, or high angle incident beam, sneaking behind the LEP [Laser Eye Protection]. Therefore, coupled with the appropriate laser protection technology, contact lenses provide a perfectly sized defense against eye injury, eliminating direct and off-axis retinal hazards from todayâ€™s most dangerous military lasers that operate in the far red and near infrared spectrum (670 nm â€“ 1200 nm).
