Adlens launches Adjustables variable focus eyewear

Oxford, United Kingdom-Adlens introduces Adjustables, its latest variable focus eyewear product.

Each lens consists of two wave-shaped plates that glide across each another to alter the power of each lens, correcting more than 90% of spherical errors (lens power –6 D to +3 D). Although the improved optics result in an optimized reading zone, Adjustables were designed for a range of applications, such as up-close work, computer use, yard work, and for managing fluctuating vision in diabetes patients or after eye surgery.

Along with enhanced optics, Adjustables offer an aesthetic pair of glasses. The brow bar is more ergonomic for a modern look, the nosepiece is adjustable for a comfortable fit, and the frame and temple arms were designed to give the glasses a lightweight feel. When they are released, Adlens Adjustables are available in black, blue, grey/black, and red/black followed soon by a new range of colors.
