Well this is awesome but for me it wouldn’t work. B/C I’ve got an astigmatism.

Hopefully if enough of these get distributed it won’t be so much of a problem except for people with astigmatism.

Same, I have astigmatism and near-sightedness, a brutal combination.

Me too. Hey, ignoring the issue at hand, get weighted toric contact lenses. Just do it one time to try.
When I did, I realized what trash normal lenses are. Getting the lens and astigmatism corrected on the eye results in some pretty dramatically sharp view. It’s crazy, I started observing the stitching on carpets and the hair in the shower. I had never cared for either thing because I just can’t see it normally.

Yeah, my problem is the second you blink they shift away from perfect vision into garbage. It might be because I smoke cannabis. shrug meh, my stupid eyes…

Yes, that’s where the weights come into play.

Holy shit this is amazing. I love inventions like this. This just oddly gives me a lot of joy. No need to waste hours on stupid eye exams, just adjust it whenever my eyesight deteriorates.
Awesome!

Original article I posted didn’t give a date, but the earliest articles about these glasses are from 2008-2011, so they’ve certainly been around for almost 20 years now.

You probably wouldnt want to buy it. They aren’t exactly a good fashion statement.
