Don’t worry, they’ll make a version with advertisements inserted into the field of view for the poors.
They can block view of specific things, and force you to pay to unlock them. They can also add features you can subscribe to, like ‘make your spouse look more attractive’. I tell you, the business possibilities are endless.
With AI that detects when you're orgasming from porn to optimize the dopamine connection with the product!

As a 55 man constantly switching glasses, taking them off, losing the “right” pair, etc. please please please …
progressive bifocals.
I have them. I also have a large monitor both at home and at work that the sweet spot for being able to focus is a narrow range toward the bottom. So I have a pair of single vision computer glasses that I either misplace or forget I’m still wearing when I leave the office to drive home. So I’m still constantly switching glasses. Yeah I know …. first world problems. I want my old eyes back. Getting old sucks.
I just want a technological fix for what my eyes used to be able to do on their own.

I have a pair on right now. They're better than not seeing correctly, but only being able to focus on a computer screen with less than a third of your vertical field of view sucks. There are options, but one of the best is having more sets of glasses, which isn't convenient or cheap. These could solve that. I'm sure Amazon will make it not worth it at some point, though.
Zenni. Have your doc write a scrip for standalone monitor glasses and have them fill that. (Had bad luck with Zenni doing progressives, but a simple reader prescription? $20)
Ive thought of it. Probably going to do sunglasses first, t'hough. Or rather second, after my single vision safety glasses.
Yeah Amazon will figure out a way to enshittify them for sure. Most. Likely with a subscription program for what should be totally standalone.

Nausea-inducing bifocals? No thanks.
