Comment on autofocus glasses

  For contacts I kinda get it.

  You could have eye conditions that make you unsuitable to use contacts.

  For glasses, its absolute bullshit.

  An “incorrect” lens monted on the exterior of your face will not harm you (other than making you a bit dizzy).

    The thing is, if you’re eyes are unsuitable for contacts, you’ll know really quickly. I would think almost anyone that would buy contacts without an active prescription, has already tried contacts. You still have to know the numbers, so at some point there was an active prescription. I’ve never been to an eye doctor that didn’t give free contacts samples, so there’s that option too.

      Can’t you buy colored contacts with no correction? Seems like if you can do that, the issue with your ryes being unsuitable isn’t the reason.

        Valid point. Which makes it even dumber that I can’t buy corrective lenses with a prescription a doctor once gave me that arbitrarily expired. It’s not like eye prescriptions tend to change significantly, and if it’s like other drug prescriptions, no need to worry about me growing an addiction to contacts, I’m already there.
