Adaptive eyeglasses change lens power with the turn of a dial. Users can quickly and easily determine their own lens power for near or distance vision. They then can fix the power in a simple process that takes only minutes.

Adaptive eyeglasses use adjustable lens technology. Adlens eyeglasses contain fluid-filled lenses that change shape and therefore focus depending on the amount of fluid inside the lens. The lenses are protected by polycarbonate covers and are both durable and easy to clean.

Turning the adjuster knob pumps fluid into or out of the lens structure, thereby changing the lens power. Once at the desired power, the user simply seals the lenses and removes the adjusters.

Adaptive eyeglasses work for distance, reading, or for computer and mobile phone distances.

Vision for a Nation is using revolutionary adjustable eyeglasses which can correct up to 90% of refractive errors and can be distributed by, for example, community health workers, teachers and nurses. Adjustable eyeglasses are simple to use. The power of each lens can be adjusted independently to suit the needs of the user. Turn the dials to change the power of the lens and once clear vision is attained fix the power by removing the adjusters.
