Glasses lens, which at the touch of a button could go from distance to magnifying so that I can read packets in supermarkets while wearing still wearing my glasses to see items I want from a distance.

I do NOT mean varifocals.

I have 2 inventions I would love to see come to fruition:-
1). A duvet covered in a nice material that can be washed and dried easily so that you dont have to faff with duvet covers.
2). A 1 cup bra that supports a remaining boob after mastectomy and is flat on the other side, so that you can feel supported but not so trussed up with a prosthetic and mastectomy bra (I mean, for just chilling out and feeling comfy) (little crop tops and similar dont really do the job if you are a bit bigger (‘uni’boobed). I am going to attempt to make one, the idea is in my head, but my sewing skills are rubbish!

A cat litter tray with tall handles. I am finding it increasingly difficult to get on my knees to clear Monty’s tray.
Can’t have a raised tray as my elderly cat couldn’t jump up.
Tried long handled scoopers, but my hands are too shaky to cope with them.
You can buy long handled feeding bowls that can be lifted up.

The shower cleaner used to be called mum. Gran doesn't like can't get down on her knees to do it.

An automatic shower cleaner which switches on as soon as you step out of it. Cleaning the shower has to rank with cleaning the oven in one of my most hated jobs!

A fake news filter for social media. This would flash up a warning saying ‘The Tosh you just read is Faked to lure the Stupid and Gullible who cannot Think for Themselves or Be Bothered to Check the Facts’.

Is there something you've dreamt up which, if manufactured, would really help you or someone else?
My current two are a magnetic, waterproof magnifier to read shampoo bottles in the bath.
Also window wipers worked from inside the passenger seat of the bus so I could see out the window instead a murky blur.
These are mine for now. Over to you.
