Exciting news for those enough who are 40+ and spend too much time in front of a computer screen: a Finnish startup called IXI is promising to end the era of clunky bifocals and the 'head-tilt' struggle of progressive lenses, replacing them with a pair of glasses that focus as naturally as the human eye using a combination of infrared eye tracking and liquid crystal-transparent indium tin oxide glasses

I have a pair on right now. They're better than not seeing correctly, but only being able to focus on a computer screen with less than a third of your vertical field of view sucks. There are options, but one of the best is having more sets of glasses, which isn't convenient or cheap. These could solve that. I'm sure Amazon will make it not worth it at some point, though.

    Zenni. Have your doc write a scrip for standalone monitor glasses and have them fill that. (Had bad luck with Zenni doing progressives, but a simple reader prescription? $20)
