“If you're one of the many who wear prescription eyeglasses with bifocal or progressive lenses, your life could soon become much simpler, thanks to a company called PixelOptics.”
“The glasses use a thin layer of liquid crystals sandwiched between two plastic layers. Electric current from a built-in rechargeable battery alters the focal power of the lens sandwich when you tilt your head or tap the frames. A 6-to-8-hour charge can run the emPower glasses for more than three days.”
