Ti amo technologia! The American company PixelOptics plans to release a new technology, tens years in the making. Its an electronic auto-focus lens using some hi-tech liquid crystals sandwiched between two composite lenses. The organic molecules of the liquid crystals, the same kind used in the display LCD of your mobile device and flat screen TV, changes orientation when hit by an electric field. This change occurs by simply pushing a small button on the side of the frame, so you can switch between distance viewing and reading in the blink of an eye. These lenses are slated to be out in the United States later this year and in the UK in 2011, making traditional bifocals a thing of the past. Smart-phones ... Now intelligent eye wear, what's next, smart contact lenses? www.pixeloptics.com
