Whatever tech could make these AR contacts comfortable to wear all day would be worth a fortune for plain old prescription contacts.
I’m willing, he’ll I’d be happy and excited, to be proven wrong here, but it seems to me that the balance of probability tips in favour of them having something half-baked and non-viable, and my eyes are definitely too precious to risk them on a bad v1 product
- hinkley 4y agoTo be fair, AR contact lenses could more easily absorb a $10 premium on a material that is more comfortable for extended wear than regular contact lenses. Yes, it would be good if contacts were more comfortable, but maybe it's a cost problem rather than a lack of capability.
- bornfreddy 4y agoThe contacts are expensive, yes, but for a lot of people (myself included) they could still easily be sold at twice the price if material was more comfortable.
