Adlens Announces Electronic Adjustable-Focus Eyewear

Adlens, a manufacturer of variable-focus eyewear, announced that they plan to integrate electronic focusing into their product within the next two years.

Variable-power glasses including features such as electronic auto-focusing, a heads-up display and activity sensors are in the initial design phase.

Adlens currently produces two different types of variable power glasses: mechanical focusing by adjusting the distance between two polycarbonate lenses, and fluid-injection variable focus lenses which uses an elastic, fluid-filled membrane as the lens.

AdlensFocuss, a line of variable-focus “bifocal-killer” progressive glasses that are adjusted by turning knobs located on the inside top corner of the frames, was released in June 2015 in USA.

As reported previously in InfoClip.ca, the Canadian market is likely to see AdlensFocuss in 2016, following rollout in USA and launch in UK. Adlens range is distributed in Canada by Perfect Optical.

Jaïpur: The Bohemian Look from Lanctôt

The latest Nomad concept is inspired by the spicy colours of India, and the “pink city”: Jaipur. Colour variation is the foundation for this bohemian and trendy feminine concept. Worked from triple-layer acetate, the simple lines are playfully combined with contrasting colours. Jaïpur is also available in a stainless steel front version.

With Jaïpur, Nomad will appeal to unconventional women who are first and foremost “themselves”.

Clinical Trial Demonstrates Safety, Benefits of Bionic Eye

The results of the 3-year clinical trial of the Argus II retinal prosthesis system, a “bionic eye” developed by Second Sight Medical Products to return sight to patients blinded by retinitis pigmentosa, were published this week in the journal of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

The Argus II system transmits images from a camera mounted on the patient’s glasses to a device implanted on the retina, allowing the brain to interpret patterns of light.

The trial involved 30 patients aged 28 to 77 over a three year period, all having little or no perception in both eyes.

89 percent of patients performed better on visual function results with the implant. Eleven patients experienced serious adverse effects soon after the implantation, which were successfully treated.

The Argus II is approved by Health Canada. The first Canadian patient was given the implant in June 2014.
