However, I am at the end of the Boomers. With a huge mob of boomers slowly aging in front of me. Our medical industry has been taking huge leaps in advancements. Joint replacements that used to require six months of recuperation and physical therapy.
This set of adjustable glasses is something that I find interesting. Not this exact pair, but as this technology develops. Imagine what will be available ten years from now.
A few years ago, I was reading about an invention of reading glasses with an adjustable focal-length. They had a tiny knob at the temple, that a wearer could adjust to meet whatever your eyes needed. But with this pair that I am sharing the adjustment is done by its computer.

That is neat
I am also at the end of the Boomers and my eyesight has gone from perfect to awful over the course of about 15 years.
I'm just waiting for the day that I can have cataract surgery and have the lens implants. That's all I need. No more glasses!
I go to get my eyes tested 3 or 4 times a year due to glaucoma ( under control) I see no need for adjustable glasses, if my current ones no longer work well, I can buy a new pair, pretty cheap,
Cataract surgery does not correct all vision to 20/20.
A lot of times pretty close, but you have to get the top of the line lenses (if I remember there are three levels). Mrs. NBP had the surgery right before Covid hit and, except for low power cheater glasses (1.0) for very small up close things) she is glasses free. She'd had to wear them since she was six.
I started to notice my close in vision going in my late forties, so twenty or so years ago. I use cheaters for reading but my distance vision is still good enough that I'm the only one in my duck hunting group who can see duck heads bobbing up and down 300 yards away.
I have always cared a lot about my vision because my career depended on it, am retired prof. photographer, worked before autofocus cameras were a thing.
I had Lasik (age 30 to 60-something) then had cataract surgery and got distance vision implants. Great doctors both times
My advice--get the very best doctor with the best training at top school, using best equipment
I happily do 90% of our driving, husband is 76 and his night vision is poor (he had cataracts removed--no need for implants)
