Autofocusing Smart Glasses With Eye Tracking Tech Could Make Bifocals Obsolete (hothardware.com)

Exciting news for those enough who are 40+ and spend too much time in front of a computer screen: a Finnish startup called IXI is promising to end the era of clunky bifocals and the 'head-tilt' struggle of progressive lenses, replacing them with a pair of glasses that focus as naturally as the human eye using a combination of infrared eye tracking and liquid crystal-transparent indium tin oxide glasses

I'm cautiously optimistic. This looks like a reasonable use of tech that doesn't seem to have so many of the spyware elements that other glasses (like Meta) have. There's no external camera, no screens (only lenses), and no mention needing an app or internet connection.

As someone in their target demographic I'm interested to find out what is actually released and would consider purchasing a pair.

I'm be ready to try it. Having to take my readers off to walk around, and put them on to glance at my phone is a real drag. I also need another pair for using my PC as the screen is further away. It's a real hassle, so I'd pay really good money to have a good looking pair that auto-adjusts for these uses.

If it's a subscription model though, it can eat a bag of dicks.
