Adjustable Liquid-Filled Eyeglasses
Atomic physicist Joshua Silver invented liquid-filled optical lenses to produce low-cost, adjustable glasses, giving sight to millions without access to an optometrist. He delivers his brilliantly simple solution for correcting vision at the lowest cost possible — adjustable, liquid-filled lenses. At TEDGlobal 2009, he demos his affordable eyeglasses and reveals his global plan to distribute them to a billion people in need by 2020.



I am already a huge TED fan but Johsua Silver brought tears to this myopic nerd’s eyes. I hope he meets his goal of 2020.
