EaseVision.com – News and gossips of vision care and optical industry

In the similar ideas of PixelOptics’ electronic bifocals, TruFocals.com’s touch-focus eyeglasses mean to address the same needs of the people over 40 or 45.

Following the same route as Benjamin Franklin, TruFocals’ touch-focus glasses help people with presbyopia to eliminate the constant shift between distance eyeglasses and closeup spectacles. By touching the ’slider” on the nose bridge, the wearer can easily and flexibly change the pressure of the liquid inside the lenses, thus achieving the sharpest vision.

The mechanism of the touch-focus eyeglasses requires the shape of the lenses to be round. Currently the company design a frame style which is similar to classic Harry Potter’s eyeglasses, as only the round lens shape can allow the pressure of the liquid to be allocated evenly. There are two lenses, one is firm while the other is flexible and is filled with clear liquid with good feature of light transmission.

UK Oxford-based company Adlens have the almost same eyeglasses which are now commercialized by the same name American company.

We believe technology and innovation will mostly bring well being and convenience to the general public. Eyeglasses in above mechanism, adjusted to the best possible vision possible by the wearers themselves, can sure achieve the vision acuity.  This actually skip the step of eye check by the eye doctors, and actually the wearers are issuing “RX” by themselves. As I know, the RX from optometrist does not only mean the vision sharpness, doctors will have a wider consideration of all the other aspects of eye health before issuing the final RX. Are these self-adjusting glasses really healthy?

According to TruFocals.com, customers can order from their online portal, and the price is US$900 which is not cheap. Currently the style of the frame is really not fashionable at all.
