About the solution
The ophthalmologist told Yoeri that he has to wear glasses all day but, moving in a wheelchair, Yoeri has problems wearing them because of knocking the glasses against the headrest of the wheelchair, and because he also has spasms.
So the students developed the Anti-tilt glasses: Spectacles designed so that the user can't bump their glasses into something. The glasses automatically reposition themselves after the bump so it's almost impossible that they get tilted.
The glasses consist of two parts: one that is placed along the ears and forehead, the other is a frame with lenses that is flexibly attached to the first part.
The first part is like a mask and is wore all against the head. The frame with the lenses is attached at a point to the first part. It absorbs the shock and then returns to its original position.
These glasses can be used by anyone that suffers from tilted glasses that they can't put right, whether in a wheelchair or not. It can also be used for sports.
The glasses can be made at home.
