Spiral Lens Extends Focal Length and Depth of Vision in Changing Conditions
Spiral Lens Extends Focal Length and Depth of Vision in Changing Conditions

A new, spiral-shaped lens could make consistently clear vision possible for people with lens implants or age-related farsightedness. The spiral diopter works similarly to progressive lenses used for vision correction, while foregoing the often-found distortions. Its spiral shape creates many separate points of focus, allowing the user to see clearly at different distances and in various light conditions.  Read Article
