Superfocus

The Superfocus adjustable focus glasses mimic the dynamic focusing action of the youthful human eye. Each Superfocus focusing lens is actually a set of two lenses: one flexible and one firm. The flexible lens (near the eye) has a transparent membrane attached to a clear rigid surface with a clear optical fluid in between. As a user moves the slider on the bridge of the glasses, the fluid is pushed forward to alter the shape of the membrane, thereby altering the flexible lens and changing its focus.
