Design Specifications

Eyejusters are metal frame glasses with SlideLens™ technology. Each SlideLens is a pair of lenses with a special shape. When these lenses are slid across each other (left-to-right), their combined shapes act as if they were one lens with a changing spherical surface. The SlideLens technology allows Eyejusters users to self-adjust their glasses to their own vision needs. The glasses are adjusted with a removable dial on the side of the frame. The adjustable eyewear comes in two types: negative power to correct poor distance vision and positive power to correct near and farsightedness. Each Eyejuster box includes a pair of eyejusters, re-attachable adjuster dials, hard plastic case, cleaning cloth, instructions, and close vision chart.
