AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the concept of automatic double lens glasses that could assist individuals with severe presbyopia by mimicking camera autofocus technology. It highlights the need for a significant distance between lenses to achieve a full range of focus similar to young vision, while also considering the practicality of integrating autofocus mechanisms for quick adjustments between varying distances. The importance of speed in autofocus is emphasized, especially for activities like driving, where quick focus changes are essential. Additionally, the conversation touches on the potential of fluid-filled adjustable lenses as a solution for dynamic vision needs. Overall, the feasibility of such technology raises intriguing possibilities for improving vision correction.

TL;DR Summary
Can autofocusing glasses exist?
I think camera lens are two lens that work in tandem to focus or zoom onto the sensor, but I was wondering how great a distance must exist between the lenses to get full range of focus young people have? Certainly can't strap a telephoto length lens to a person's face. Cameras can auto focus and I know they have devices that follow our eye position so it can know the object of interest. At this point such a thing would likely be too expensive, but can anyone imagine it being possible to help those with severe presbyopia?
 
Science news on Phys.org
A telephoto lens enlarges the image of very diatant objects. Many cell phones have focusing lenses that have moving parts. So that is a small space to fit in. These focus the image onto a nearby sensor.
 
That is pretty compact. I guess the bigger question is how quickly focus could change between like 8cm and .5 miles to get pretty full young vision range. I will have to look into the camera autofocus and eye trackers.
 
Without my glasses, I can focus on anything beyond infinity.
I have lost most of the elasticity of my lens, but I only really need three different strengths of lens to fully function. Driving =+2 diopter, inside a room or workshop = +3, or close reading +4.

The accuracy of an autofocus mechanism is not critical, it only needs to handle somewhere near those three values.

The speed of an autofocus mechanism is critical, when I am driving I need to see the road, and the instruments/GPS, all in a cycle of less than one second. For driving, I use bifocals and keep my head level.

Cleaning requires multi-element lenses have only two exposed surfaces, so will need to be sealed.

There are liquid or fluid-filled adjustable lenses, that are adjusted by changing the internal fluid volume/pressure. Google them.
 
Hello ! As we know by definition that: "Constructive interference occurs when the phase difference between the waves is an even multiple of π (180°), whereas destructive interference occurs when the difference is an odd multiple of π." But my question is in the case of destructive interference, what happens to the energy carried by the two electromagnetic waves that annihilate, the energy carried by the electromagnetic waves also disappears, or is transformed into some other type of...
I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
