  1. A message for #optometrists #ophthalmologist #eyecare providers, are you reminding people or providing a disclaimer on the eye ware that in my opinion is quite intrusive on an individuals privacy and that of others? #raybans #meta #AI #youthprivacy #adultprivacy #protectprivacy

  2. Holy crap.

    So, yes I'm old enough to need #progressive (read #bifocals) lenses in my #glasses. Spurred by this weekends *breaking* of my non-tinted pair, I finally went for an eye-exam for the first time in nearly 5 years.

    The frame alone is $350 (thanks #Luxottica Group S.p.A monopoly asshats)** **and the lenses are $275 each.

    And guess how much the benefits cover: $250 every 24 months. Do unspent amounts rollover? nope.

    *Tragically, few #optometrists have layaway or installment plans.*
