Self-Focusing Eyeglasses

The September 27 edition of WSJ Online spots a big advance in eyeware - self-focusing eyeglasses. With " TruFocals, the wearer can manually adjust [two lenses] to give clear, undistorted vision, whether reading a book, working on a computer or looking into the distance." This ingenious innovation was developed and refined over 20 years byinventor Stephen Kurtin. Despite their Harry Potter-ish look, these round eyeglasses should ease the aging process and be available to the public next year.
