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 👍

    You wanna poke any guesses at exactly how I learned my natural vision is about 20/500 stupid nearsighted? Eye doctors use these as a basic test for children, to quickly gauge whether further testing needs to be done and a prescription issued.

    I was 7 when I first got to see anything even close to clearly, through pinhole glasses not much different than these. And they were cheap, so why not get a couple pairs right?

      I’m not questioning the use of them medically, I’m questioning the idea that these do anything for AI.

      They still cause depth-perception problems, regardless. Even you commented yourself you wouldn’t wear them while driving.

        They don’t cause any depth perception problems you silly goose, I’m wearing them right now as I type these messages on my tablet.

        But they do cause just enough distortion to make the characters on the screen look slightly duplicated in random places until I shift my head a little bit, I apparently have to spend a little longer making sure I type and spell everything correctly.

        Honestly, if I absolutely had to, given the only options of no glasses or pinhole glasses, I’d choose pinhole glasses for driving if it were an absolute emergency, but again I seriously don’t recommend that.

          you have posted this in a community called Fuck AI. this is why everyone is trying to work out what your post has to do with anti-AI sentiment.

            My bad, I also posted under Glasses and Eyewear, I’m getting comments from both communities right now.

            The glasses block significant facial features used for facial recognition.
