My right contact lens also has a set of measurement graduations printed on the inside of it, so my visual estimation of size is very accurate. It's frustrating having to constantly explain these things to over-concerned customers who do not observe the use of caliper or torque wrench.

That's nothing! I have an XRD
and an XRF detector instead of my right eye, while my nose contains a small but powerful source of X rays. The sensors are directly wired to my brain. That way, I can instantly determine both the composition of the bolt and the stress of the crystal grains in it, from a distance of two meters!
