Self Adjusting Glasses

Think of the number of visits you need to make to the optometrists and opticians to get the correct number for your eye glass lenses. What if you no longer had to do that? What if you could adjust the lenses in your glasses and make the blurry vision get clear and focused in an instant? “Eyejusters” may allow you to do just that!

Eyejusters is an Oxford based start up company which has developed a pair of eye glasses which can be focused by the wearer by merely turning a dial on the frame of the glasses. The glasses were developed from an original idea as old as 1920 by a pair of physics students and two engineers.

Oven Reading, co-founder of Eyejusters and Head of Business Development, said that they agreed that optometrists could provide a better standard of care but their glasses were particularly useful in parts of the developing world where people did not have access to prescription glasses.

Eyejusters has sold their glasses to a number of NGOs in Sudan, Uganda, Morocco and India. They are also available as over the counter reading glasses in the US. Some science projects can be truly helpful and financially beneficial.
