Summary

It's been reported that almost 45% of the US population suffers from one of four refractive errors in vision, the most common of which is called presbyopia, an age-related condition that decreases a person's ability to focus on objects in front of them. To varying degrees, this problem affects every single person who is over the age of 35 and only progresses with time. Until now, this problem has remained entirely unaddressed by the scientific community.
Tridib Ghosh is the CEO, director, and co-founder of Sharp Eyes, a company that is creating programmable liquid lenses which have the ability to correct presbyopia by changing their curvature in direct accordance with an object that's within the user's gaze. The technology uses an eye tracking system that calculates the exact distance between an object and the user and changes shape accordingly in order to bring that object into complete focus for the user. The change occurs within a fraction of a second so that the user never feels like they're losing eye power.
Furthermore, the lenses can be updated by programming new data as it relates to the progressive deterioration of the user's vision over time. As it turns out, these lenses will also address the other refractive errors in vision-myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
The team at Sharp Eyes is preparing to test their prototype on actual patients in order to see what further optimizations might be needed before launching the first-generation product.
Tune in for the details.

0:00.0	Welcome to Almost Here, Around the Corner of Future Technology Podcasts with Richard Jacobs.
0:07.8	Future technologies, ways to transform our lives for better or worse, are the focus of this podcast.
0:13.4	Almost here means these technologies are now here and starting to be used, or just around the corner.
0:19.5	From Bitcoin to artificial intelligence, 3D around the corner, from Bitcoin to artificial intelligence,
0:21.9	3D printing, blockchain, virtual reality, and more.
0:32.4	Coming to Dallas, Texas, September 14th, 15th, and 16th, 2018, the Blockchain and Future Tech Expo.
0:40.3	This is going to be a gigantic conference of over 5,000 people. We're going to be talking about
0:45.8	blockchain and its applications. We're going to be talking about quantum computing, cybersecurity,
0:51.4	artificial intelligence, and several other future technologies that are poised to and
0:56.6	actually changing our lives as we speak.
0:59.0	Here's why you should attend.
1:01.0	As you may know, early adopters are the ones that investigated and profited from things like
1:06.0	the gold rush in the 1800s, from the dot-com boom in the 1990s, from the internet boom in 2005, from the smartphone explosion in the 1800s, from the dot-com boom in the 1990s, from the internet boom in 2005, from
1:13.4	the smartphone explosion in 2007, from the real estate boom that ended in 2008, and of
1:19.2	course from the Bitcoin boom that started in 2012. Early adopters act now, they don't
1:24.8	wait till later. They go out west first and they're covered wagons. They find the biggest gold nuggets.
1:30.3	If you consider yourself an early adopter and you want to find the biggest nuggets, then you owe it to yourself to attend this upcoming conference.
1:37.3	Blockchain is going to affect how we control and store our medical data, how we send money around the world, how we bank, and more.
1:46.0	But artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and cybersecurity will play a pivotal role in our lives as well.
1:52.0	And that's why our next event, September 14th to the 16th at the Dallas Convention Center,
1:58.0	is going to have not only 5,000 plus attendees, but will showcase blockchain,
2:02.6	AI, cybersecurity, quantum computing, and more.
