No I wouldn’t consider these as viable everyday wear, but given how badly nearsighted I am, they still give me much better focus than my natural vision.

I got 2 pairs of these delivered today for only $7.16 total 👍

      That doesn’t answer the question though. Where are the details and how does it do it “fairly effectively?”

      All I can find about them is info on myopia, and even for that they don’t fully work.

        Of course they’re not perfect, but when you compare 2 pairs of these for $7.16 to my actual prescription which last cost me $217, well why the hell wouldn’t I buy a couple pairs of these as cheap backups. I’m probably gonna give my mom the other pair for Christmas.

        As far as AI face recognition, a large part of that is tracking the exact dimensions and ratios of your eyes, eyebrows, nose bridge area, etc. If cameras can’t see those features, they’re hard pressed to even register the image as a face, let alone try to identify the person.

          1. If you’re in the USA, maybe look into something like GlassesUSA or ZenniOptical. You can save a shit ton on prescriptions and get multiple pairs for that amount, even with a crazy prescription. There might be other sites outside the USA, but I don’t know what they are off-hand.
          2. AI facial recognition doesn’t need to do anything special to get around people wearing dark sunglasses now, especially when the cameras are situated at a higher angle than your face and can see around the lenses. The glasses alone will not stop facial recognition.

            Regarding your points…

            1. I actually have 3 pairs of glasses, one prescription and 2 others that happen to work perfectly for me that were thankfully donated to me, one of those pairs is even better than any prescription I’ve ever had, so I think I’m good on prescription glasses for a while thankfully.

            2. Hence the hat, and guess what, I’m not even wearing the same hat that I wore for the photo…
