The Truth About "Auto-Adjusting" Glasses Like Mag Vision: Do They Really Work?
Hi everyone — Neil here from UseMyFrame.com. I wanted to take a moment to talk about something I’ve been seeing pop up a lot lately — especially on Facebook. Today I got an ad in my feed for a pair of glasses called Mag Vision, which claim to “automatically adjust to your eyes” and replace your entire prescription with just one pair.
As someone who works in optics every single day, I knew I had to say something — not to knock anyone’s product, but because I care about helping people actually see better.
So, what are these “auto-adjusting” glasses?
Mag Vision and similar brands are advertising glasses that supposedly work for both distance and reading, adjust to any prescription, don’t require an eye exam or prescription, and use something like “liquid lenses” or “smart glass” technology.
I’ve worked with real optical technology — including progressive lenses, prescription readers, and even digital free-form lenses — and I can tell you this: there’s no such thing as a truly universal prescription lens. Your prescription is unique to you, and vision correction just isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Here’s the reality behind those ads: What they usually are is low-quality plastic frames with adjustable lenses — sometimes you dial them left or right to change power. They’re basically magnifiers or novelty readers, not true prescription glasses. What they don’t do is correct astigmatism, match your real prescription, or provide true visual clarity across the whole lens. And often, these glasses can cause eye strain or headaches — especially if you have a more complex prescription.
Why I care: At UseMyFrame.com, we custom-make lenses based on your exact prescription, pupillary distance (PD), and frame shape. That means your glasses are made for you, not just “close enough.”
I’m not writing this to be negative — I get the appeal! I love when technology pushes boundaries. But I also want people to make informed decisions. If something sounds too good to be true... you know how that goes.
Want real, personalized vision correction? Whether you need prescription scuba lenses, readers, sunglasses, or just a better pair of everyday glasses, we’d be happy to help. We’ll even walk you through the whole process — no gimmicks, just quality you can see.

I got took! Ordered 3 pair & they sneakily added 3 more to my order. I noticed it immediately after clicking the final order button. Immediately tried to change or cancel the order & got an immediate reply that they couldn’t do that because it had already been processed. Should have called the credit card company immediately and disputed the charge, but I foolishly waited for them to arrive & return for refund. ALL of them, because they are nothing but children’s glasses and do absolutely nothing for my vision. Do not help at all doing computer work and certainly not for driving as the ad claimed. Still waiting on a response. Each time they communicate with me it’s a full day longer between emails. The last one was requesting my name, email, order #, and picture of the order and packaging. All of which they already had, except for pictures of the order & packaging. Can only assume that’s for proof that I received them. I’d already said I had. Bunch of garbage!!! Do NOT waste your $ on this scam!
I have business in my right eye which started after taking the drug Wellbutrin. I quit the drug after two weeks and the business remained. Been checked by every professional possible in my area. Nobody knows why. Had cataract surgery. No help. Left eye is perfect. Tried care drops. No help. Any suggestions
You got your money on the 4th here it is the 12th and you advertise shipping in 3 days. Still no product.
I was disappointed. I had ordered a 2 unit sets, they added a 3 set to my order, which I hadn’t ordered. which brought my order to
$149.98. I tried to contact the company, and the only way to reach them was by E-mail, by the time they responded, they said the order had already been shipped. But when they finally came they said I could return them, but I had to pay the return postage, which was over $46 and I would have to to fill out customs papers. After all that the glasses don’t work.
