Man, if only I had discovered the OAED sunglasses before I went and got laser eye surgery, I could have saved a bundle. Nah, I'm happy with the surgery but I must admit this is quite a breakthrough innovation.
Designed by Aleksander Mukomelov, the OAED sunglasses help to fix shortsightedness, longsightedness and cross-eye by strengthening the muscles in the eye with a technique called 'sight swinging.' This is achieved by placing dioptres of different strength all over the lenses so that the eye is constantly shifting focus. Simply an amazing idea.

Trend Themes
1. Sight-swinging Glasses - Opportunities for disruptive innovation lie in developing glasses that use the 'sight swinging' technique to correct vision problems.
2. Muscle-strengthening Eyewear - Disruptive innovation can be pursued by creating eyewear that strengthens eye muscles to improve vision without the need for surgery.
3. Advanced Dioptre Lenses - Developing glasses with dioptres of different strengths placed strategically on the lenses can revolutionize the way vision problems are corrected.
Industry Implications
1. Eyewear - The eyewear industry can explore the opportunities presented by sight-swinging glasses, muscle-strengthening eyewear, and advanced dioptre lenses in revolutionizing vision correction.
2. Healthcare - Disruptive innovation can be realized in the healthcare industry by creating non-invasive and non-surgical methods, such as muscle-strengthening eyewear, to improve vision.
3. Optometry - The field of optometry can seize opportunities in developing new techniques, like sight-swinging glasses, to provide alternative solutions for vision correction.
