Vision-Correcting Display Makes Reading Glasses So Yesterday
From: Product Design and Development - 07/30/2014

UC Berkeley computer and vision scientists are developing computer algorithms
to compensate for an individual’s visual impairment, and creating
vision-correcting displays that enable users to see text and images clearly
without wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses. The technology could
potentially help hundreds of millions of people who currently need corrective
lenses to use their smartphones, tablets and computers. One common problem,
for example, is presbyopia, a type of farsightedness in which the ability to
focus on nearby objects is gradually diminished as the aging eyes’ lenses
lose elasticity.
