Since then, eyeglasses technology has come a long way – from bifocals in 1784 to contact lenses in the 1960s -70s to Google’s augmented reality glasses of today. Big things are in the works, too – from contacts that can check your blood sugar to robotic eyeglasses that can give sight to the blind. Check out the full-sized Emerging Technology Info Graphic while you’re considering your eyeglasses needs of today.

I’m nearsighted as a bat, and my aging eyes also have a need for variable-focus lenses. My glasses used to be so thick and heavy that I had permanent grooves in the bridge of my nose and behind my ears from wearing chunky plastic frames with thick, heavy lenses. Thanks to advances in lightweight frames and high-index of refraction lenses, my current glasses are so light and comfortable I’ve actually gone to bed without realizing I forgot to take them off until I realized I could still see! These advances come at a price, though, and my eyeglasses can cost more than a fancy laptop.

Zenni Optical can help with the sticker shock of new glasses. They offer a line of stylish frames for men, women, and children that use current technology to make them light and comfortable at amazingly low prices. They offer single vision, bifocal, and variable focus lenses at similarly low prices. You can even get tinted lenses or clip-on sunglasses. They have some single-vision glasses for $6.95. So, while you’re waiting for those contact lenses that can translate speech into text for you, you might as well have some comfortable and stylish glasses at a reasonable price!
