As a guy closing in on 50, losing my near vision really annoys me. And the current solutions are weak at best, which annoys me even more. These and the other companies working on similar sound great. But someone tell me why I would need a prescription for them? And is that true in the EU? The article makes it sound like getting them approved to be prescribed is a big hurdle. They seem like better reading glasses, which I don’t need a prescription to buy.

    You go to an eye doctor, they do the various tests and create a prescription with the necessary details to get you the right glasses. For the next year, you can use that prescription to buy glasses anywhere you want.
