I was super excited to hear this, but how are they going to check for cylindrical + axis defects? Is it even feasible? Or is the recommendation to visit an eye doctor every two years supposed to cover that? Edit: Their disclaimer at the bottom says: "Opternative’s technology is only intended and suitable for use by licensed eye care professionals to perform online refractive eye exams on patients between the ages of 18-40 and in good health." I am now confused. Is it for self testing or not?

> how are they going to check for cylindrical + axis defects? I have a lot of astigmatism. In their FAQ they claim they can test for it, but I'd love to know the details. I'm not about to give them $30 just to find out. It's all hand waving, there is very little detail on the site about how this testing works.
