Adlens variable focus eyewear features an exclusive frame and lens combination with self-adjustable lenses that enable the wearer to focus on objects at any distance.
Each variable focus lens in Adlens glasses contains an elastic membrane within a chamber between two thin, lightweight polycarbonate lenses. When fluid is injected into this chamber by turning a removable knob on the side of the frame, the elastic membrane bows inward or outward within the chamber, which changes the power of the overall lens system.
Adlens Focuss glasses with Variable Power Optics
Adlens offers a second variable focus lens technology called Alvarez. In this lens system, two thin, wave-shaped polycarbonate “plates” can be slid across each other by means of a small knob on the frame. The position of the two plates relative to each other determines the power of the overall lens system.
Adlens also is working on a new adjustable eyeglass lens technology called Variable Power Optics, which will enable wearers with presbyopia to even more conveniently switch the power of their Adlens glasses to see objects at all distances, according to the company.
The company currently offers four lines of Adlens variable focus eyewear: Adlens Adjustables, The John Lennon Collection, Hemisphere and Emergensee. More than 100,000 people around the world are wearing Adlens variable focus eyewear, according to the company.
Adlens variable focus glasses are designed for use as a temporary or spare pair of glasses, and the power of the lenses can be customized instantly to correct from -6 diopters (D) of nearsightedness to +3 D of farsightedness with the simple turn of a dial. They also can be adjusted for special visual needs, including reading and computer use, or used to manage fluctuating vision for people with poorly controlled diabetes or after eye surgery.
In an interview conducted by First Vision Media Group in August 2013, Graeme MacKenzie, Director of Industry Affairs at Adlens, had this to say about the versatility of Adlens glasses:
“Given their utility — the fact that you can just adjust the lens power — they can be used in a really wide variety of situations. A lot of people use them at home in their home office environment because you can focus at different distances. A lot of people use them as a pair of monovision glasses, so one eye is set on the computer screen and the other is set on the keyboard. And that was quite a surprising find to us — how easy it is for people to adapt to that and use the glasses in that way.”
Adlens Sundials
Adlens introduced Sundials in early 2014. The lightweight “spare pair” sunglasses offer UVA and UVB protection and have temple dials that adjust for near or far vision needs from -6D to +3D.
In October 2013, the company’s Adlens Adjustables line received a Silver Stevie Award at the 10th annual International Business Awards in Barcelona, Spain. The product was recognized for its utility, craftsmanship and technology in the “Best New Product of the Year” category in Health and Pharmaceuticals.
Also in October 2013, Adlens introduced its new Focuss by Adlens variable focus progressive lenses and announced it had entered into a partnership with LensCrafters, a U.S. retail division of Luxottica, to test the product via an exclusive arrangement through the first half of 2014.
The new Focuss variable focus lenses incorporate distance and reading into one shared lens, and also correct astigmatism. Users turn a dial on the side of the frame to quickly adjust their prescription to the optimum power for distance, intermediate or near vision, depending on their needs at the time.
Adlens was founded in 2005 by James Chen, a Hong Kong-based businessman, and Dr. Joshua Silver, professor of atomic physics at Oxford University in the U.K. In addition to selling variable focus eyewear to consumers online and via select retailers, the company has established philanthropic programs to bring accessible vision correction to the developing world, particularly to areas where little or no affordable eye care is available.
