Went to get glasses and made a big point of avoiding Ray Bands for taking Facebook money to make pervert glasses. Hoping it's not the first time they've heard that.

I do actually like the classic nerd look of their glasses, but yeah, fuck that.

    FYI, Ray Ban is just a brand name owned by the same company that owns most well known glasses brands.

    Once you realize how consolidated the eyeglass industry is its a lot harder to find truly independent brands.

    That’s why I cut out the middle man. I place a screen at a predictable distance from my face all the time and let the cameras autofocus. AI makes everyone hot too.

    The ads are a bitch though, but the Ritalin I got from Hims helps.

    I not only have to pay to see, but I have also to pay huge markups for it??? Fucking hell.

    It was always weird to me how expensive glasses and lenses were, now I'm just pissed at being right.

    Yep. I go to Costco now because I’m blind in one eye so the correction is only for the other eye. Costco only charges me 50% of the normal lens cost and the blind eye just gets a balance lens (weight matched to the other without correction).

    I’ve walked out with a brand new pair of lenses and frames for $30 after my eye “insurance”.
