Great. Now, when will we get glasses that don't get scratched up when you wipe them without rinsing them first?

- zppln 4y agoOr even better, glasses that don't require cleaning at all...
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- dools 4y agoOr some sort of corrective eye surgery which obviates the need for glasses altogether!
- onlyrealcuzzo 4y agoThe need for sunglasses??
- tcmb 4y agoImplanting self-tinting artificial lenses, maybe? Wouldn’t want that, but seems entirely possible.
- senectus1 4y agoyes! a thin film of gold over our eyeballs!
- Gordonjcp 4y agoWould you actually risk having elective surgery on your eyes - which are irreplaceable - when it's easy and simple to just change your glasses if your prescription changes?
- procinct 4y agoI would absolutely get LASIK if my eyes had stopped degrading.
- tjpnz 4y agoIf you haven't seen a doctor do it now. There are progressive conditions which can rob you of your remaining sight if you don't intervene.
- procinct 4y agoI see an optometrist every year. But my eye sight is degrading over time (which is normal). As I understand, there’s no point getting LASIK until your eyes have stopped degrading, since if you got them fixed, they would just degrade anyway.
- buryat 4y agoalready got the surgery 12 years ago
- Gordonjcp 4y agoDoes it actually work? With no side-effects?
- fragmede 4y agoMake your decisions for your own body, but LASIK is popular for a reason.
- Gordonjcp 4y agoI don't really see how LASIK can work.
- sgt 4y agoOr tiny little windshield wiper arms.
- devjab 4y agoAs long as luxottica has a monopoly on glass for glasses (is that the correct english word? Is it lens?) I doubt we're going to see too much improvement in the wear-down. Maybe that's pessimistic of me, but there really hasn't been much innovation on glass for glasses in my 25 years of wearing glasses. Maybe glass for glasses is at its zenith, but it's sort of hard to believe that when you look at something like smartphone screen changes over the past 10-15 years.
- kgwgk 4y ago> As long as luxottica has a monopoly on glass for glasses (is that the correct english word? Is it lens?) "Monopoly" is not the correct word. At least in a global sense - they are more dominant in some places.
- Semaphor 4y agoWe do? I recently got new glasses after 5 years, I almost never wet them before wiping them, and I usually wipe them with my t-shirt. Zero scratches on old glasses, it was actually the finish on my frame that started failing and prompted getting a replacement (turned out my eyes also degraded slightly, so I got new lenses anyway)
- snowwrestler 4y agoThe key is to brush all the dust off, then wipe only for oils. You can use the edges of a lens cloth to brush first. Grip it in the middle so all the edges bunch together to form a sort of brush. Or a dedicated product that separates the two steps: this is the best glasses cleaner I’ve ever used: https://carbonklean.com/product/peeps-vision/ https://carbonklean.com/product/peeps-vision/
- kirenida 4y ago> Easy to use, compact and never expires! > Our technology will clean your lenses 500 times! I know that you're supposed to get the dust off first, and I wash my glasses daily with dish soap, but I want to be able to use any clean paper tissue or cloth to clean my glasses, without having to worry about having an emergency lens cloth on my at all times.
