Scientists have succeeded in "cloaking" an object perfectly for the first time, rendering a centimetre-scale cylinder invisible to microwaves. Many "invisibility cloak" efforts have been demonstrated, but all have reflected some of the incident light, making the illusion incomplete. A Nature Materials study has now shown how to pull off the trick flawlessly.

Does invisible to microwaves mean that it is also invisible to the eye. Interesting if true, but I suppose they do not need to be linked to work on both accounts.

For a microscopic substance to be invisible to Microwaves means that the Microwaves were not returned by bouncing off or reflecting off the object thus your eyes would not be able to see the object in a Larger Matrix of the Material. Split Infinity
Researchers have "cloaked" a three-dimensional object, making it invisible from all angles, for the first time.

Microwaves is a term that describes very small EM Spectrum Wave Lengths. Since Light or Photons as well as Electrons or Electricity as well as Radio Waves being in this same group of it being a Particle/Wave Form in the Electromagnetic Spectrum...as the wave exists smaller in length between that waves crests...an specific material as is described in this Topic may be designed not to allow EM Particle/Wave Forms to reflect back after encountering such material which has been designed to allow Light or Radio or any other EM Broadcast to flow past the materials design geometry and elementary molecular construct without bouncing back to the broadcast source.
Thus Photons or Light would simply not be able to reflect back to the Human Eye as we see Light in a wide spectrum of Medium Wavelength. We cannot see light in it's Smaller Wavelength or see Light that cannot reflect off an object back to our eyes. We would not see it. Split Infinity

Their use of Microwaves was needed to determine just how Invisible this material was to Reflected Light, Radar, IR-Detection...etc.
Yes of course the Human eyes cannot see Microwaves...but if the Material will not even reflect Microwaves...it will not reflect anything in the EM Spectrum that is of a Greater Wavelength than Microwaves...such as VISIBLE LIGHT!

The design principles that make the cloak work in microwaves would be difficult to implement at optical wavelengths. But microwaves are important in many applications, principally telecommunications and radar, and improved versions of cloaking could vastly improve microwave performance.

Interesting invisible soldier video, supposedly captured by insurgents.
Fast forward to 3:40 to see the soldier
