Glasses that prescribe themselves?

In a manner of speaking.

This is really cool.  According to this video, something like a billion people in the world need glasses but don’t have them.  For many of them that’s because eye doctors haven’t set up shop in their poor, out of the way villages.  Glasses cost too much too, even if they could get their prescriptions filled---one to two months’ worth of earnings.  President Clinton announced a commitment from Adaptive Eyewear, a not for profit British company that has set out to deal with this problem.

You're right, Lance. That IS very cool.

Oh, and as for your prodding on Facebook to go read your blog entries from your FB links, I prefer instead to go straight to the source and read the the blog itself.

I call it "mainlancing"...

Wow - that's a wonderful step in the right direction. The eyeglass wearers will look more authentic when they're playing Quidditch, too. (just kidding ;) I plan to share this good news with others. Thanks!
