    Generally this happens when you create an overpriced gaudy product no one was wanting in the first place.

    With the sole exception of leakage, every one of my clients....including me!...loves their superfocus glasses. As a musician, I would not be without an adjustable focus glass.

    They're selling direct? Their website up and google ads popping up for them?

    Just to make sure I'm not getting confused, you're not saying that Superfocus was made by Pixel?

    The only Pixel lenses I remember are the AtLast (discontinued before the bankruptcy), Behold(discontinued before the bankruptcy), and the Empower (active at the time of Bankruptcy but obviously out of production now)
