Josh Silver's adjustable liquid-filled eyeglasses
 

Pretty cool stuff. With Silver's glasses, you can adjust the glasses on your own, without the need of an optometrist.

Very cool, heard the ted talk on it, good stuff!

its a great vision to have, but its going to be difficult to get the prices down to fit their target group which is living on $1 a day "which he mentioned".

That being said if they manage to pull that off the world will be a better place for a LOT of people.

They already have the price down to $19.
It's going to be hard, but I believe they will finally be able to make it.
Economies of scale will kick in, once they ramp up the production.

I have to say that is pretty damn cool

design some cool looking ones, slam a brand like nike on it, then you haven mass production at low cost, result wanted cheap glasses. :)

Fluid Pumped In... Power of lens increased
Fluid Pumped Out...Power of lens reduced

sounds like beer goggles lol
