Honestly, the tech seems quite impressive. But I wouldn't touch Amazon-backed smart glasses, which "could also provide health insights, such as detecting dry eyes or monitoring posture", with a ten-foot pole; especially when there's also entirely passive bifocals and progressives.
I'm on the verge of needing bifocals, and I'd never consider these. Fuck Amazon and fuck Jeff Bezos.
I'm on the verge of carrying a purse so I can carry three pair of glasses. My sunglasses, my indoor myopic, and my indoor presbyopic (I already got the presbys and the shades, what's another pair?)
I really hate late stage capitalism for this. Any useful invention is quickly captured and enshittified for profit. If this came out 20-30 years ago I doubt anyone would have reservations.
