According to this and this, we've gotten a proof-of-concept prototype on the contact lens display already.

It's not ready to go yet. The rigid lens form factor is a minor concern. Also, the prototype is fitted on rabbits; it's not clear that they've built one that can be tried by humans. The fact that the display only has one pixel is the real problem - we're a long way from a usable HUD at this point.

I admit I'd expected to see a wearable HUD in a pair of glasses well in advance of contact lenses (if you've missed this idea, watch Dennō Coil for an example); the ones on the market now are a long way from the convenient glasses we've been hoping for. Maybe the age of wearable computing will skip past the glasses stage more quickly than we'd guessed.
