electronic progressive lens !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi every body
as I am a director in FreeForm lab I heard this morning that there is A new type Of progressive lens which made with " liquid crystals":drop::
PixelOptics a company how create a progressive lens that can change it's power.
an électro-active multifocal lenses, which integrate liquid crystals and electrodes allowing to modify immediately the correction according to the needs of the wearer .
These lenses adjust automatically, in some milliseconds, on the point fixed by the user, without intervention of this one. This "magic trick" is operated by a sensor and a microprocessor fed by a battery, the whole was miniaturized and was integratedbinto the frame.
Bye bye optical lenses : CR39, TRIVEX, HIGH index.............................:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:
The comfortable of vision from autofocus glasses will good as tri-focal lenses.
End of history ...........................

...Just noticed in the diagram of the electronic lenses...that the prototype has two thin layers of GLASS in the front and back of the lens. I wonder if it will pass the drop ball test?
But within three years of emPower’s launch, PixelOptics, the company built around the invention, declared bankruptcy. In January, courts approved the distress sale of all its assets to Connecticut-based Horizon Technology Corporation for a lowly $3.7 million, a pittance of the billions once promised by the revolutionary patents.
But even as the country was falling in love with the idea behind emPower, those who actually purchased the $1,200 devices were finding out the description on the box didn’t always match the product inside. The relationship between Pixel and Aspex began to deteriorate when customers started complaining of technical issues, and many eyeglass dealers canceled orders.
According to court documents filed by Pixel, by this point its investors had “substantial reservations” as a result of the ongoing dispute with Aspex and weren’t willing to put up enough money to fund daily operations. When it attempted to raise $22 million from its investors to get the company through the end of 2012, the company could muster up only $14 million.
Pixel began looking to be purchased in the spring 2013, believing a larger company with deeper pockets would be able to support the company as it kept producing new versions of emPower until all the kinks were worked out.
