Autofocus Glasses: CES 2026’s Breakthrough in Smart Eyewear

Autofocus Glasses Are No Longer Sci-Fi—They’re Here Could your next pair of glasses automatically adjust focus like a camera lens? At CES 2026, startup IXI made that futuristic promise real with its breakthrough smart eyewear. Designed for the millions who struggle with presbyopia—the age-related loss of near vision—these glasses dynamically shift focus based on where you’re looking. No more juggling readers, bifocals, or progressive lenses. Just clear vision, near to far, without lifting a finger.

But this isn’t just clever marketing. The core tech was developed by an actual rocket scientist, leveraging precision optics and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) refi…
