Tell me something good.

0:11.1

A company is launching auto-focused glasses.

0:14.6

Now, this one is specific to me or anybody else that is visually impaired.

0:18.1

I'm very visually impaired.

0:19.4

I got one eye that works at 8%. I got another eye that's failing daily. I'm colorblind. Thanks. What's up? Yes, it's just a lot. It sucks. The daily sounds bad. Well, my right eye has never worked too. Like, so I don't really know. It's like someone who's never had a television and you go, dang, it sucks. You don't have TV? And they're like, well, I've never had TV, so I don't know what I'm missing. Like, I'm missing a whole right side. Yeah. My right eyes never wear it. But these glasses, there are high-end smart glasses. They look like regular eyewear, but they use eye tracking sensors and liquid crystal lenses to adjust focus in real time.

0:54.5

So when your eye starts to struggle, it adjusts.

0:58.7

How good is that?

0:59.6

I know I got to go back to the eye doctor too.

1:01.9

My left eye, the good one, as I call it, it's starting to get a little worse.

1:07.5

But like normal worse.

1:09.3

Yeah, not like you're losing your vision completely, right? Like regular... Regular decline? Not completely, but yeah. Dang. I know. Was it always perfect? Like your left eye, was it always pretty good? It was good because I had to make up for the right eye. So I think naturally, like somebody who's blind has a great sense of smell, I think the old left eye was doing pretty good because the right eye didn't work.

1:31.1

I wore a patch as a kid. You talk about already like the dirty kid that's now wearing a patch,

1:38.2

not good days. But these glasses sound pretty cool. Also, what's a bit disappointing is those

1:44.0

colorblind glasses don't work for me because my vision is so bad. If I had good vision and I was as colorblind as I am, those glasses would work for me. But because I have such bad vision, what am I going to do? Look at a color in bad vision. You know what I mean? Yeah. So these are expected to launch within the next year. You know what blows my mind is when you go to the eye doctor, they can tell by looking at your eye how bad your vision is. That's crazy. Really? Yeah, because they can go in. I don't know how many eye appointments you've had. One. Oh, ever? Over the years, I've done like at the doctor, like A, B, C, D, whatever, but only it was last year did I ever get my first prescription of anything. It was just for my readers. Wow. So they go in, they do a couple things. They do the old A, B. What about this one? What about that one? Yeah. What about this one? That's not even it. But when you put your eye in, it does something and it can tell how bad your vision is by looking at your eye. Is that where they have the light that goes into your eye and they're looking at it? Or is the puff? I think a little bit of it's the puff. The puff is, man. They're like, try it again, but don't move. It's impossible. How do you not move? Don't tell me there's a puff coming.

2:52.5

You need to puff me when I don't know the puff's coming if you don't want me to move.

2:55.5

It's almost like doing like vizine in your eye. You squeeze it right before it. So you move your head. Yep. Do you guys do that? But anyway, a big shout out to this company because they're launching these auto-focused glasses.

3:06.2

I think it's pretty cool.

3:07.2

It's basically the biggest innovation and vision corrections since verifocals. I don't know if that is. But that's from CNN. I thought it was great. People like me that have had bad vision. Yeah. I don't want you guys to cry. I don't want to be sad sack here. It's getting a motion a little bit. I don't want to be a sad sec here. But I'm super happy about this. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. Suzanne Sinwell was at the hospital in Iowa, and her rings were accidentally thrown away.
