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.
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.
