It has been a long time since there have been any truly revolutionary changes in glasses design.  Progressive lenses, which most people think of as new technology, were actually started almost 50 years ago.  With the invention of the emPower lens, that has all changed.  The emPower lens is a new lens that uses liquid crystals in the lenses to create an instant on/off bifocal.  Whenever you want to read, simply tap the side of the frame and the bifocal power will instantly appear.  After you turn off the near power, they look and function just like any single vision lens.  The big advantage of this is you don’t get the annoying blurry field of vision in the bottom of the lens like you do with standard bifocals and progressives.  These lenses are going to be great for people who have tried and tried and are still unable to adapt to bifocals or progressive.  We are very excited at being one of the few providers of the emPower glasses..  Please visit their website at www.lifeactivated.com to read about this new lens or call 334-271-3900.
