However, in the actual use of the lens, the objects that the human eye observes through the lens are not only in the distance, but also in nearby areas. If the lens is capable of changing the diopter according to different object points (zooming) to reduce the degree of adjustment of the eyes to a certain extent, the eyes will be more comfortable while using.
