The contact lens is just the display, it still requires inductive power and external display source to really do anything. Plenty to “tear apart” and fit into existing equipment.

The lens itself becoming a complete device in its entirety is something I think we are decades, potentially centuries from tech which is that minituarized. Smart rings exist, but they’re still orders of magnitude simpler devices.
