At some level, you stick your head in a machine and it goes bzzzzzzt for 15 minutes. So you might ultimately get down to the cost of 15 minutes of machine time in an office, which is probably under $200.
- jelliclesfarm 7y agoMaybe one day. But we work with what we have now..I would rather people walk around and drive with proper vision aids. At the sweet spot of affordability.
- Scoundreller 7y agoLet’s say the machine costs $10m. Anyone that buys it wants a 10% return on it per year. That’s $114/hr. Can this machine run 24/7? Sure! I can show up for an appointment at 3:15AM.

I don’t know what to make of it. Thoughts?
