Adjustable Glasses: The Future Of Multifocal Lenses?

Are you over age 40 and unhappy with your current glasses for

 presbyopia correction?

Most people who need prescription lenses for nearsightedness, farsightedness and/or astigmatism attain clear, comfortable vision at all distances with progressive lenses when they become presbyopic. But some are frustrated by the relatively limited field of view these and other multifocal lenses (bifocals and trifocals) provide for intermediate and near vision.

And people who have clear distance vision without glasses and need only reading glasses when presbyopia occurs have problems, too. They often are frustrated by forgetting to bring their reading glasses with them or are constantly needing to put them on and take them off to see clearly at different distances.

If you're in either of these groups, here's some good news: multifocal eyeglasses are now available that can solve these problems and give you clear, unobstructed vision at any distance...with just a simple turn of a dial inside the eyeglass frame.

These potentially game-changing glasses for presbyopes are called adjustable focus glasses (also called adjustable focus reading glasses and variable focus eyeglasses).

Adlens adjustable glasses are an exclusive frame and lens combination with a compound lens system that enables the wearer to focus on objects at any distance.

Called Alvarez Dual Lens technology, this lens system features two thin, wave-shaped polycarbonate "plates" that slide across each other by means of a small knob on the frame. The position of the two plates relative to each other determines the power of the overall lens system.

Adlens adjustable eyeglasses are
designed for use as a temporary or spare pair of glasses, and the power of the lenses can be customized instantly to correct from -6 diopters (D) of nearsightedness to +3 D of farsightedness with the simple turn of a dial. They also can be adjusted for special visual needs, including reading and computer use, or used to manage fluctuating vision for people with poorly controlled diabetes or after eye surgery.

In addition to selling adjustable focus eyeglasses to consumers online and via select retailers, Adlens has established philanthropic programs to bring vision correction to the developing world, particularly in areas where little or no affordable eye care currently is available.
