Is there any way to get rid of distorted, swimmy vision in my progressive lenses or no-line trifocals?

Until last month the answer to that question would have been ‘no’, but thanks to a recent breakthrough in electronic lens technology distorted vision can be almost completely eliminated for most patients by lenses that electronically change focus as needed. Since the creation of progressive lenses distortion in the lower half of the lenses has been a constant problem, and stronger reading powers create more distortion. Advances in lens designs have reduced distortion, but even the best of these premium designs still creates significant distortion. Now a company called PixelOptics has created the world’s first electronic focusing eyewear called emPower! This lens eliminates almost all distortion because most of the reading power is only activated when the head is tilted down to read or if the wearer manually turns the reading power on by touching the side of the frame. The ability to change focus is made possible by a layer of liquid crystals embedded in the lens which are activated by an accelerometer and electronics housed within the temple of the frame. This is an exciting revolution in the way eyeglasses will be used in coming years. To find out more visit visionary-eye.com/empower.
