Well, optometrists have rather strong financial incentives to oppose things that might permanently fix the issues people keep paying them to address.

    From what I know from my optometrist partner, eyes are kind of dumb and permanent fixes aren’t super likely in the near or medium future. They don’t even really have impermanent fixes that can restore you to 100%, everything is a trade off. It would be great if optometry and dentistry were treated as normal healthcare and not weirdly outside many universal health care systems tho
