As a guy closing in on 50, losing my near vision really annoys me. And the current solutions are weak at best, which annoys me even more. These and the other companies working on similar sound great. But someone tell me why I would need a prescription for them? And is that true in the EU? The article makes it sound like getting them approved to be prescribed is a big hurdle. They seem like better reading glasses, which I don’t need a prescription to buy.
You can do that with this novel technology called “a second pair of glasses for reading”.
Alternatively, if you don’t want to constantly adjust because you only need to read something quick, try taking off your glasses and squinting.
Could save you thousands of dollars and hours on the line with technical support.
It works, I can confirm it.
When I play a board game and need to read the cards I need glasses. But if I want to look at the player across the table I have to take them off. Squinting doesn’t seem to help.
Let’s be honest, swapping between two pairs of glasses, or rocking multi focal glasses, sucks.
Carrying around glasses cases everywhere is a total PITA, and multi focals are not nearly as nice as one big dedicated lens for an entire focal point.
I don’t know anyone carrying multiple pairs of glasses that thinks “this is great, the youths are missing out on all the fun.”
