What do you think about Google Glass? And now they have tied up a deal with VSP and will have access to millions of prescription eyeglass wearer, not to mention the validity it will give to the whole idea of “Glass”.
It’s a very touchy subject really. There are issues of privacy that people are worried about; then there is the simple invasive feeling of wearing a computer on our bodies. But this can maybe be made less of a hurdle when the Glass is associated with something we are used to wearing, like eyeglasses or maybe even a watch.
The question is do we really need to be THAT connected? What’s the next step? There has always been talk of having computers installed in our brains…..
Heard of Uber, well there idea is to create a fast and easy system that would bring back house calls.
Uber has managed to build a good business by being convenient and fast…immediate transport that you can easily monitor from your smartphone. Using this model they plan on launching a health care delivery system.
“It will work like Uber, but with doctors coming to you. I mean it will start out for the 1%, clearly,” said the source
This integration of eyewear works with a pair of glasses and contact lenses..providing the wearer a sort of virtual canvas on which on can view any type of media or run an app…they will be unveil this soon!
The contact lens-based approach “enhances vision and better enables the wearer to visualize their digital world”
How exciting, another Google Glass, let’s call it Samsung Glass?
New ideas on the horizon, this is great….here’s one more gadget for you.
You just know this was invented by someone who doesn’t wear glasses, don’t you? Same thing with Google Glass….how am I supposed to wear them…or do I then have to go get a new pair of prescription eyeglasses use the teched out frame….is that even possible??
Carrots that’s what we have all heard…and it’s true..but the advantages to our vision goes further.
Beta-carotene, a type of vitamin A is what we all know (or not) that gives foods their orange coloring it helps the retina and other parts of the eye to function well.
There are though lesser know foods that pack a nice punch..lutein and zeaxanthinare antioxidants that have shown (according to studies) to play an important part in reducing the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts.
#1 Kale
Rich in cancer-fighting anti-oxidants and vitamins,
a good source of beta-carotene.
use a salad or a side dish; blend it into fruit smoothies; or bake the leaves into kale chips.
#2 Corn
contains some lutein. (longer cooking increases the amount of lutein and the anti-oxidant levels)
Add it to chilis, soups, and casseroles.
#3 Eggs
protein-packed eggs
the yolk is a prime source of lutein and zeaxanthin
also a great source of vitamin-E, and omega 3’s,
4. Broccoli
fiber-rich veggie is rich in vitamin-C,
contains eye-boosting beta-carotene, as well as lutein.
add cooked to omelets and frittatas, or toss it in marinara sauces and pasta dishes.
#5 Oranges
They’re rich in vitamin-C, which will reduce the risk of macular degeneration
vitamin-C helps regenerate other important anti-oxidants, like vitamin-E.
Oops…shhhh there’s more actually..it’s my favorite
Spinach
One cup of nutrient-dense spinach packs a healthy 20.4 mg of lutein and zeaxanthin.
add to sandwiches and wraps, use it as a salad base, or make green smoothies with it.
note: Cooking the greens helps your body better absorb lutein.
Just as we reach the optimal age of 40 something we find that lo-and-behold we can’t seem to stretch our arms far enough away from our eyes to see the very tiny print that seems to be persistent on all bottles, newspapers, books etc that we surround ourselves with.
Right about this age the elasticity in our eyes seems to give way and the harsh reality sets in for most. Even if they have never worn eyeglasses before now they need to! It is really hard for most to cross this bridge of life, as most are not yet prepared to consider that the body has become older and the poor functions that seem to creep up need to be dealt with at some point.
Well an IPhone app made by company Glassesoff may have an answer for you…maybe?
Of the two elements needed for human vision (the quality captured by the eye and the brain’s ability to process this information) this procedure will focus on the brain and the processing of the information.
“People can impact their vision by increasing the quality of images captured by their eye (e.g., wearing eyeglasses, going through corrective eye surgery), or by enhancing their brain’s image processing abilities.”
This app will be able to boost the brain’s natural image processing ability, so that the brain can learn how to process the blurry images. Improving the eye age by 8 years or so.
The app is played like a video game and seems to have flashing dots and stripes, and will adapt to the players specific vision performance and progress. According to some early reports and studies seems to really work.
A Dutch company is working on 3D printed fully functional eyeglasses using this “Printoptical Technology”. This company has been developing and manufacturing optical solutions for the LED industry using this same type of 3D printing.
To be completed within one printing job, LUXeXcel printed as a demonstration a fully functional and compete pair of lenses and frame.
This technology prints clear ink on translucent media to make optical elements such as LED lenses. Using ink-jet technology the printer deposits drops (that manage to remain smooth) that are dried using uv light. The key element says LUXeXcel is the ultra-high resolution 1,440 dpi (pixels-per-inch) or greater.
This technology can produce very complex, optically smooth surfaces with no post-processing…this is the only 3D-printing method that can do that.
