I remember reading about these spectacles that'd let you control their focal lengths by varying an oil film between two rectangles of glass that were held together by the frame ('oil inside the lens'). Links?

Uh. I have Keratoconus and these might be _perfect_ for me. I can't normally wear glasses because my prescription changes relatively rapidly. My only choice is rigid contact or squinting. These glasses might be a great alternative.
