Autofocus Glasses Adapt to Eyes in Real-Time
IXI Eyewear, a company from Finland, has made special glasses that can change focus automatically.
These glasses are very light, weighing only 22 grams, and they have sensors that track where you are looking.
The lenses are made from a special material called liquid crystal glass.
The company says these glasses are better than the ones we have now, like bifocals and varifocals, because they don't have as many problems with blurry vision.
The glasses will need to be charged, and they have a special mode that turns them off if something goes wrong.
They will be more expensive than regular glasses, but the company plans to sell them next year.
IXI Eyewear showcased autofocus glasses at CES that adapt to the wearer's eyes in real-time.
The glasses weigh 22 grams and use liquid crystal glass with eye-tracking sensors.
They aim to replace traditional reading glasses and improve on bifocal and varifocal lenses.
The glasses will require overnight charging and have a failsafe mode.
IXI Eyewear plans to launch the glasses next year at a higher price than traditional glasses.
