how do we then transfer the charge from the shits to the devices?
Powering Wearable Devices Via Skin - ASME
A new approach has unlocked a way to use the human body itself to deliver power to wearable devices by transmitting electricity over the skin.

A manual focus version would be cool too. I don't like the idea of having yet another thing to charge.
you'll look like the king of nerds, but that's a thing:

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).
The thing is, if you're eyes are unsuitable for contacts, you'll know really quickly. I would think almost anyone that would buy contacts without an active prescription, has already tried contacts. You still have to know the numbers, so at some point there was an active prescription. I've never been to an eye doctor that didn't give free contacts samples, so there's that option too.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjustable-focus_eyeglassesoh damn, I've never seen one in person, but I don't really care about judgment by others, so if I could get some prescription lenses on those, that'd be ideal.

I want glasses with the ability to clean themselves.

My GUESS would be that you get a prescription for whatever your vision requires as a baseline, then the auto focus kicks in for reading.
The intention is to replace bifocals or progressives, so you'd still have your primary prescription + adjustment for reading.
That was my take, and I hope we're both right. I'd kill for glasses that auto-focus as readers. I wear contacts most of the time when outside, so maybe not such a savior for me.

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
As a driver with short sight and glasses, if my glasses fall off I'm not suddenly blind - I just can't read license places or signs. Traffic lights, other cars etc are still pretty obvious.

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.This is INSANE, my entire household could make imense use of theese with our shitty eyesight! I don't cary about any reviews because anything like this will be 1000x better than existing bifocals, I will be preordering 3 pairs of theese as soon as possible. I just hope they don't patent the shit out of them so there will be competitors and the prices won't be astronomical.

I don't think I want it to be possible for someone's glasses to die or freeze
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
Well, I have tried multiple sets of reading glasses at different magnification. They all work fine. So I don't think it needs to be that exact to match the person. And I would think some sort of calibration, either by manual means or plugging them into a smartphone and using an app should cover that. I doubt it corrects for things like astigmatism that are more complex.

Can't you buy colored contacts with no correction? Seems like if you can do that, the issue with your ryes being unsuitable isn't the reason.
-
You can just go online and buy them, they don't care about "expired" prescriptions, they only need the numbers.
Sure, but I shouldn't have to. Seems like more of a reason that requiring perscriptions isn't really about anything but money.
-
You go to an eye doctor, they do the various tests and create a prescription with the necessary details to get you the right glasses. For the next year, you can use that prescription to buy glasses anywhere you want.
I thought you got at least 2 years...

multifocals areyour friend then
Is that the same as Progressives? I have them. I hate the areas that don't work on the sides. People get used to them I guess, but I don’t have to wear mine most of the time. And even if you are used to it, that means you have some distorted peripheral vision when you wear them.
-
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.
When I play a board game and need to read the cards I need glasses. But if I want to look at the player across the table I have to take them off. Squinting doesn't seem to help.

I hope you are right. But I don’t have a perscription. So I would need clear by default, and only autofocusing for reading. I shouldn't need a script for that.
-
Because they are a medical device and there are negative medical repercussions to using glasses that don't conform to your needed prescription.
I can go buy readers when I don't need them. I've been told that using a higher power than you need is bad for you as well. And you can buy glasses online with no script. So I don't think that reason would be valid.

My neighbor just bought a pair off of tv, theyre a scam, just +25 reading glasses..
Yeah, my wife got me something that claimed to auto focus. Was just a pair of progressive readers.

I also am short sighted, though possibly a bit worse than you given your description. If my glasses suddenly fell off there are plenty of hazards I would potentially miss. Idiot kid about to run into the road, etc.

It works, I can confirm it.
