Reading glasses specifically for those with Low Vision

I posted earlier about a Dr. Sonsino creating a set of portable reading glasses for those with low vision.  He is back in the news and it sounds like the glasses are coming along nicely.

If you didnt read the previous post about these glasses here is a quick description from Dr. Sonsino.

He says, "The glasses combine three aspects. The first is magnificaion, the second is a little prism to allow the eyes to stay straight, instead of curving in, and the third is LED lighting."

 The article describes briefely how the glasses help and who would have a need for them.  They also have a website www.lowvisionreaders.com which says they are currently working on a prototype and best estimates are these will be released in summer of 2010.
