This can be mitigated with custom magnetic clip lenses, e.g. Chemistrie. Tiny magnets are implanted into your current frame. Clip lens changes the focal length of your existing glasses by a fixed offset. Computer or reading clip can be changed in seconds. They also have polarized clips for instant sunglasses on your existing frame, which are better than Transitions/photochromic because they work while driving and are instant on/off.
- bmurphy1976 2y agoIt's an interesting approach. I used clip on sun glasses for years, but you still have the problem of having to juggle the clips and while they are smaller and easier to carry they are also far more fragile and easier to lose. I'm not sure they would provide any benefit over what I have now but it's good to know there are options!
- jbornhorst 2y agooh these are super interesting - i've never seen magnets in the len's before. thanks for sharing.
