Something like this is quite dangerous outside the question of sight I think. Someone with these implants will now have eyes that simply don't look right to others. Many people might either consciously or unconsciously look at these people as somewhat other than human, as some type of machine in some ways. The eyes are likely the most important physical feature a person has toward developing a sense of social communication. Perhaps implant recipients will end up wearing sunglasses at most times like the blind.
