Stop carrying both sunglasses and reading glasses.

    I have glasses with prescription lenses that feature a much better (and better looking) frame and have magnetic, clip on, polarized glasses. They certainly didn’t cost $850 and the clip-on part is super slim and fits into whatever you’re using to carry the glasses anyway while not in use.

    I’ll be interested in this in maybe 6 years when it’s $100.

      This is solving the other problem. I only need glasses to see up close. Turning my readers into sunglasses doesn’t help me walk around. Turning my sunglasses into readers would be very helpful.

    Cool tech, but $850. Makes me wonder though how long before vr tech makes it to prescription glasses. A pair of glasses that can eye track where you’re looking, determine the distance of your focus and adjust the prescription to be able to see clearly at all times would be awesome.

      It takes a few hours to get used to vari-focal glasses with no expensive AI required.

        I’m relatively new to glasses. I tried a pair from Zenni (maybe that was my problem) but I couldn’t use them. Had to tilt my head down to look out the top of the lens to see distance. Now I just have distance glasses and have to take them off if reading, phone etc.
