As a guy closing in on 50, losing my near vision really annoys me. And the current solutions are weak at best, which annoys me even more. These and the other companies working on similar sound great. But someone tell me why I would need a prescription for them? And is that true in the EU? The article makes it sound like getting them approved to be prescribed is a big hurdle. They seem like better reading glasses, which I don’t need a prescription to buy.

    I can go buy readers when I don’t need them. I’ve been told that using a higher power than you need is bad for you as well. And you can buy glasses online with no script. So I don’t think that reason would be valid.
