About

First pair of adjustable reading glasses with +0.50 to +4.00 strength now on sale. New advanced lens technology enables ‘Super Close Up Macro Mode’ for glasses. More demand for stronger glasses as text gets smaller in print and on small screens. Developed in-house with a breakthrough technique never used for eyewear before. No need for the hassle of taking four pairs of glasses on those important trips – use one pair of Eyejusters and see everything. The UK's first ever smart glasses for vision correction have been significantly updated using new algorithms and specially designed optical software to create the world’s first adjustable reading glasses with a +0.5 to +4.0 focussing range. By using a technique never seen before in eyewear, British based Eyejusters (www.eyejusters.com) have redefined reading glasses to allow users to buy and wear just one pair which deliver perfect vision for all close up activities including laptop computer use, reading and now extreme close up work. Eyejusters, which look just like ordinary glasses, use discreet adjustable eyeDials to change the lens strength, similar to binoculars or a microscope. Previous models went to +3.00 but new advances in lens technology developed in-house have helped the company to design to the +4.00 strength – the highest powered reading glasses lens available without prescription in the UK. This extra capability makes the glasses more powerful and allows the user to get much closer to their subject matter which is particularly important as our eyes change over time and text becomes smaller and smaller. 74% of people in the UK either wear corrective eyewear or have had laser eye surgery to help them see better. By our mid-forties we start struggling to see close-up objects such as books, computers and mobile phones. This is caused by an age-related condition called presbyopia, which is part of the natural ageing process of the eye. Poor close-up vision caused by loss of elasticity of the lens of the eye affects 22.7 million people in the UK alone of which 12.8 million have the potential to benefit from owning a pair of Eyejusters. It is estimated that over 600 million people wear reading glasses worldwide. With an ageing population staying active for longer the need for adjustable reading glasses is on the increase and demand for ‘super strength’ glasses is growing because of a number of factors Eyejusters contain SlideLens technology – a pair of adjustable focus lenses so their strength can be altered at any time with a small, hidden dial. Using two independent lenses, sealed against moisture and dirt, which slide across each other, the glasses adjust the full field of vision, not just a small area of the lens. This restores the natural ability of the eye to change focus. Rather than carrying multiple pairs of glasses of varying strengths and quality to use throughout the day, users only need a single pair. Ready readers offer a limited solution for near vision and need to be replaced more often as vision needs change over time. Eyejusters invented SlideLens, after five years of intensive research into eye-wear technology which means that each lens can be individually focused by the wearer through a small adjustable dial in each side of the frame. They allow wearers to always have the right glasses on whatever they are doing and the ability to adjust them as their eyesight worsens. Wearing glasses with the wrong lens can cause short-term issues such as headaches, eye strain, squinting, tired eyes, blurred vision, dizziness or a lack of balance. Eyejusters research highlights a growing need for adjustable lens technology, with two thirds (66%) of those wearing reading glasses owning multiple pairs of differing powers, to suit their day-to-day activities.
