So ever had an idea that you new was a winner and thought this will change my life?
For me it was an App where all bifocal lenses would be loaded into a file then people who either didn't want to wear glasses anymore or simply lost theirs could just open the App find their lense type - load it then use their phone camera to read perfectly in focus for their eye condition.
The App company initially went wild for the idead but we soon found technology available in camera lenses could not support the many many zoom and focal points needed to create what in effect was artificial lenses,
apparently something majorically to do with lense bending etc.
Talk about a multi tens of million dollar idea goes beckoning - imagine how many people wear glasses in world, imagine how many people can't afford glasses and of course those who would load it just incase for emergencies? ????.
Any camera experts out their can find a solution or will i always be left wondering what could've been.
What a bummer!.

People usually have different strengths on each eye, I do not think that the phone app could correct for that. Oh well, at least you tried.

I bet they could use a fly eye and just select eye cameras to use. Long way out idea and I am not a designer...

Couldn't you just do it all software side, without the need for a different lens. Basically run the input from the camera through a software lens that gives out what a pair of glasses would for the correction.
Basically you would rely on the cellphone's processing power to display the effect that different lenses would have, no extra hardware needed.
