The glasses are designed for the correction of farsightedness, shortsightedness, and presbyopia and cover spherical powers from -4.5 to +3.5 diopters. Each eye can be adjusted independently, providing an instant solution for eyes requiring different correction. The glasses are lightweight, and the impact and scratch resistant lenses are durable and easy to clean.

PHILOSOPHY: “This relationship is ideal for us because it embodies the physical and philosophical essence of John Lennon,” says Michael C. Ferrara, CEO and executive chairman of Adlens. “He was a true visionary who was a constant advocate for positive, worldwide change which has clear echoes in the Adlens brand and values. Our award-winning technology development program is focused on transforming the way people see the world.”
Yoko Ono notes, “Adlens’ technology is such an interesting concept with such amazing potential that really captures the imagination. I am sure John would be proud to be associated with the glasses and the ethos behind them.”
