Saviour of Nearsightedness - Smart Glasses with Auto-Focus in 14 Milliseconds
201706_6_1
Nearsightedness happens commonly in our 40s when the lenses in our eyes can no longer change focus between objects. Despite a pair of reading glasses can help us concentrate on the close-up material, it is pretty inconvenient to take off glasses to view distant objects. In this light, scientists from the University of Utah invented a "saviour of nearsightedness"— a prototype of smart glasses that focus automatically on anything you are looking at within 14 milliseconds, regardless of the distance.
