You can do that with this novel technology called "a second pair of glasses for reading".
Alternatively, if you don't want to constantly adjust because you only need to read something quick, try taking off your glasses and squinting.
Could save you thousands of dollars and hours on the line with technical support.

As a guy closing in on 50, losing my near vision really annoys me. And the current solutions are weak at best, which annoys me even more. These and the other companies working on similar sound great.
But someone tell me why I would need a prescription for them? And is that true in the EU? The article makes it sound like getting them approved to be prescribed is a big hurdle. They seem like better reading glasses, which I don't need a prescription to buy.My neighbor just bought a pair off of tv, theyre a scam, just +25 reading glasses..

Progressive lenses don’t work for me, and needing two pairs of glasses is not ideal, even if it mostly works. Plus I can’t even just buy reading glasses off the shelf, even my short range office lenses need a prescription and are expensive as hell.
Autofocusing lenses sound like an awesome alternative.

People do dangerous things that are made safer by the fact they can see—like driving
Edit: you'll need a prescription because the amount of focus it needs to do will be different for everyone and there isn't a sensor to determine your eyesight

I’d just keep a spare pair of normal glasses in the car. Anyone that has gotten to the point of needed glasses for both distance and reading likely has old pairs of glasses that can sit in a glove box. Even a slightly outdated prescription works in a pinch.
Bifocals and or swapping between distance and readers is a fucking pain. Something that solves that automatically, without a medical procedure, would be fucking amazing.

IXI isn’t selling their glasses yet. Your neighbor did not buy what the article is talking about.

The intention is to replace bifocals or progressives, so you'd still have your primary prescription + adjustment for reading.

Let’s be honest, swapping between two pairs of glasses, or rocking multi focal glasses, sucks.
Carrying around glasses cases everywhere is a total PITA, and multi focals are not nearly as nice as one big dedicated lens for an entire focal point.
I don’t know anyone carrying multiple pairs of glasses that thinks “this is great, the youths are missing out on all the fun.”

I think I'm more concerned about the unfortunate scenarios where:
Glasses fuck up meaning driver can only see near -> something that needs quick reactions happens to avoid someone dying -> driver is fumbling with glasses or trying to find a spare pair -> somebody dies

Good point. Maybe these are a “home or office use only” device.
I would looove to have something like this for work or home.

And prescriptions for glasses in general bug me. The only argument for requiring them and having them expire I have heard is that the wrong perscription could be dangerous while driving and such. But heck, we don't make you retake the drivers test every 2 years, and people's driving skills certainly decrease with age. So why prescriptions? Seems like another one of those good for business and not for people laws.
You can just go online and buy them, they don't care about "expired" prescriptions, they only need the numbers.

eventually they'll come out with a device that charges you while you wear all of your rechargeable items. you just plug yourself into a USB outlet and all your shit gets charged simultaneously

how do we then transfer the charge from the shits to the devices?

True for glasses, illegal for contacts. It's the dumbest shit ever. I don't need a prescription for band aids, why do I need one for eye correction?

For contacts I kinda get it.
You could have eye conditions that make you unsuitable to use contacts.
For glasses, its absolute bullshit.
An "incorrect" lens placed on the exterior of your face will not harm you (other than making you a bit dizzy).

Assuming they haven't gone bankrupt by then ((:
