Current bifocals and progressive lenses are static, in that the user has to change their eye position ...

7. Polarization (waves) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_(waves)

   Wearers of polarized sunglasses will occasionally observe inadvertent polarization effects such as color-dependent birefringent effects, for example in toughened glass (e.g., car windows) or items made from transparent plastics, in conjunction with natural polarization by reflection or scattering. The polarized light from LCD monitors (see ...
