Moving parts are too expensive, I agree. But nowadays one can just 3D-print a set of lenses that will match one's vision perfectly, and making it possible to just snap them in and out might be easier to implement than any alternative.
- simooooo 10y agoYou can't get anywhere close to 3D printing lenses
- arijun 10y agoBut there is a good point there--Zeni optical probably pays under $4 per pair of lenses it sells. If you had a slot to insert a lens it wouldn't be very expensive.
- moron4hire 10y agoNot as 100% of the process, but you can print a blob that is 90% of the shape of your lens and grind the rest of the material away as you would have to with normal lenses. I've seen people do it. It's labor intensive, but less so than starting with a regular lens blank.
