Adaptive Eyeglasses : An interview with Josh Silver


Audio interview with Josh SilverIn this interview, Professor Joshua Silver from the University of Oxford presents one of the technologies developed by the Center for Vision in the Developing World: adaptive eyeglasses. These glasses are fluid-filled corrective lenses, adjustable by the wearer who learns the process of self-refraction, e.g., determining the level of correction required. Professor Silver also explains why this product is a low cost technology and why the shape of the glasses matters. He finally shows how this innovation impacts on the life of people in developing countries.

    God bless you and your research team for this innovation to help developing countries with vision problems. I was personally touched when your studies took you to my motherland Ghana. I wish to inquire whether this research may benefit diabetics, like me who periodically experience vision changes. I shall be most grateful to hear your response. I also think this may also boost the debate in the healthcare reform currently being discussed. Again, thank you immensely.
