#soft science fiction
The problem: realistically speaking, Griffin should have lost his eyesight after becoming invisible, because if his eyes are fully transparent and light goes through them then there’s no way he can see.
The data: Griffin is canonically albino (which is like THE number one reason the invisibility thing works and yes he used himself as a test subject on purpose because of that). Thus he’d probably have very poor eyesight regardless. His notebooks are written in a cypher only he knows- who’s to say it’s not modified Braille?
The solution: Griffin is blind, so when he becomes invisible he can‘t really tell the difference because his eyes were useless anyway. He only knows his other subjects have become invisible either because he can perceive light pre-invisibility or because he has some sort of contraption that allows him to measure a material’s opacity, probably built with this purpose in the first place.
The text suggests that Griffin’s retinas are still visible. Though the Wikipedia article points out that this doesn’t quite solve all the problems.
