I don't understand the hate for transition lenses. You don't have to get them in frames last fashionable in 1982.
I guess the point is the dude won’t have lasik.
Lasik? Rip those eyes out and put cybereyes in! For one hole glorious year I could see in infrared. (Sadly the company went bankrupt and they repo'ed my eye, so that is why there is a hole now, at least I didn't splurge for both eyes).
@gerikson
Lasik doesn't work for every vision problem.
That's because it doesn't use AI...
transition lenses = photochromic lenses
(i thought for a moment it was another term for varifocals, but no, Transitions is a company that makes photochromic lenses)
Duh, my bad. I thought it was something like varifocals too.
Photochromic lenses were a nerd staple when I was a teenager. Dunno if/how popular they are now.
@gerikson @dgerard I'm about to take delivery, next week, of my new photochromic varifocals
