The approach customer identification data at store entry to a program in the store server and receiving from smart contact lenses, a set of gaze data associated a customer looking at a locked product on a store shelf. The approach sending a request to unlock the product and the gaze data associated with the customer looking at the locked product to the program in the store server and receiving an indication that the locked product is unlocked. The approach includes receiving a customer identification upon the customer's store exit from smart contact lenses. The approach receiving from the program in the store server, a bill for the unlocked product. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, by one or more processors, a store entry customer identification from smart contact lenses upon entry into a store;
