Essentially what this means is that we can focus on objects that are close, with ease, but struggle with items that are placed further away. These items seem blurred or unclear to us. This usually occurs when a person spends too much time focusing on nearby items, causing our eyeballs to actually change in shape over time, making it too long front-to-back. And with people spending most of their day interacting with screens, it isn\u2019t a shocker how widespread this condition is. In fact, this common condition is growing so rapidly, that it is predicted that by 2050, half of the world\u2019s population will be affected by it. This is where Japanese pharmaceutical startup Kubota decided to step in. They\u2019ve designed special eyeglasses that can improve or even cure Myopia!<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/kubotaglass.com\/\">Kubota Glass<\/a><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-396710\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/kubota-eyeglasses\/kubota_glasses_yanko_design_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"661\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/09\/02\/these-special-eyeglasses-by-a-japanese-startup-can-cure-myopia-or-nearsightedness\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"These special eyeglasses by a Japanese startup can cure myopia or nearsightedness\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/kubota-eyeglasses\/kubota_glasses_yanko_design_02.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-396710\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/kubota-eyeglasses\/kubota_glasses_yanko_design_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"661\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/09\/02\/these-special-eyeglasses-by-a-japanese-startup-can-cure-myopia-or-nearsightedness\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"These special eyeglasses by a Japanese startup can cure myopia or nearsightedness\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/kubota-eyeglasses\/kubota_glasses_yanko_design_02.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"335c0e3cab0d3e4613c899f5-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"335c0e3cab0d3e4613c899f5-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-396711\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/kubota-eyeglasses\/kubota_glasses_yanko_design_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"661\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/09\/02\/these-special-eyeglasses-by-a-japanese-startup-can-cure-myopia-or-nearsightedness\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"These special eyeglasses by a Japanese startup can cure myopia or nearsightedness\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/kubota-eyeglasses\/kubota_glasses_yanko_design_03.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-396711\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/kubota-eyeglasses\/kubota_glasses_yanko_design_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"661\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/09\/02\/these-special-eyeglasses-by-a-japanese-startup-can-cure-myopia-or-nearsightedness\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"These special eyeglasses by a Japanese startup can cure myopia or nearsightedness\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/08\/kubota-eyeglasses\/kubota_glasses_yanko_design_03.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Kubota\u2019s wearable design has been amped with an array of nano projectors, which project light at the wearer\u2019s retina in a specific pattern, to cause blurring at short distances, in turn forcing them to look further away. This helps the eyeball to morph back into its original shape and allows one\u2019s vision to return to normal. You\u2019re supposed to wear the glasses for a couple of hours a day, usually when you\u2019re simply relaxing or unwinding in the comfort of your home.
