Voy Tunable Eye Glasses [adjustable focus]
These look interesting, for those of us with lousy eyesight.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/137062...sses-ces-2021/ HomeSite [has some FAQ's on it]:- https://voyglasses.com/ Cheap too, $79 (£59), Overpriced opticians will hate these One pair to rule them all. Quote:

I'm not gonna get a pair just yet, I'll wait till they appear on Amazon. [I limit the number of on-line outlets I use/trust] EDIT: They are not on amazon.co.uk at the moment, but they are available for purchase on their Canadian homesite. EDIT: The Sun says is US company, I was going by FireFox Addon FlagFox showing Canadian flag for homesite URL.

Luckily I don't have to wear glasses just yet.
I will in the future as it's inevitable but thankfully I can still go out and about, drive, read and watch TV without anything. I gotta say though that my eyesight has fallen during the years, in fact it's been a while since I had 11/10 as I now have just 10/10 and I'm afraid it will slip to 9/10 very very soon... |

~98.0% of the population [that previously had good eyes] need reading glasses at about the age of 44 [+/- a couple of years].
For me it was about 44 years exactly. Science don't really know why the lens stays soft/supple for the remaining 2.0% [leastwise, when I read up on the subject, @ about 44 Y.O]. [I used to be able to hit a bull @ about 300 yards, without telescopic sights, sadly not now].

If you once had reasonable eyes, did not need specs prior to about 44, or there was nothing special about your prescription then should be ok, but read the FAQ's on homesite. EDIT: An image on homesite shows adjustment wheel for each eye. Quote:

Here is 1st review of 1st pair [about $13.00 canadian] on Canadian Amazon, that I looked at. Quote:

Fortunately the computer monitor still sits just outside the no-focus zone. Hopefully it'll stay there. |

EDIT: Although, once I was on a range and somebody shot a sheep, you cannot really do that by accident. EDIT: However, given my eyes right now, maybe you can do it by accident.
