Making glasses as per prescription is so passe. The latest solution is to inject fluid into a general pair of glasses by means of syringes. It also allows the individual to vary the pressure of the solution until perfect vision is achieved doing away with time consuming testing. It also allows shipping thousands of glasses without customising them. Its going to be especially useful in rural poverty ridden areas of Asia and Africa.

Thousands of pairs of glasses have been distributed by U.S. peacekeeping forces. Newer, lighter models are in the works.
