I give it 10 to 15 years for the 1000 electrode model, with perhaps another 10 to get the color part perfected.

Can you say IR or UV vision?

Who would volunteer to convert one of their (normally working) eyes to get that kind of enhancement? I would seriously consider it, since I am mildly color blind anyway.

Or, if you want to go seriously cyberpunk, a third eye in the center of your forehead.. lol
 
or even the glasses/camera setup that's tiny.

GURPS Traveller (and GURPS Ultra Tech 3e) offers "Nightshades" which are IR/Nightvision sunglasses.
