    I have rayban sunglasses from before the meta glasses trend, and some people think I'm recording them when I'm just wearing prescription glasses 😎😭

    The shitty thing is it's hard not to give the fuckers money.

    Luxoticca owns most eyewear brands, optometrist offices, eyewear retailers, and even a ton of optical insurance providers. They control the frames, lenses, and more.

    Oakley used to be independent, but they actually stopped lenscrafters from providing lenses for them and bullied their suppliers until Oakley's stock dropped enough to buy them out. They're the reason frames that should cost $15 cost $900.

    They're one of the clearest examples of a monopoly in the world, but we just fucking let it continue.

    Yes, the reason for $900 frames exist is people who buy them

    ok, so you buy those $50, $10, $5 ones, and the market will have to follow if there are no isiots paying more. It's not electronics or machinery, it's a piece of forged or extruded materials, and a couple of pieces of plastic or glass, the cost is not high (in case of prescription glasses and special coatings the price will raise, but it will mostly be labour price, it's not something the manufacturer does

    Of course - the $900 was in the original comment, I was answering to a child comment. $900 sounds more like a cost of contacting a Chinese factory and producing a small batch of your unique sunglasses based on 3d model you've sent to them:)

    It's harder for people who go to the optometrist and get their glasses.

    The Luxoticca-owned insurance company makes them use the Luxoticca-owned optometrist that sells Luxoticca-owned frames with Luxoticca-owned lenses.

    Moat people don't even know you can ask the optometrist for your prescription so you can go buy frames and lenses from Zenni or Coastal.

    Not sure where you're located but I'm pretty sure providing the prescription automatically is standard almost everywhere after an eye exam.

    I've worn glasses for decades and have gotten annual exams in all parts of the world. Always got a printout of my prescription and never had to ask.

    Look at his ear. A person could wear this maybe 10 min before his ear hurts so bad he can’t any more.

    That looks exactly like the kind of person I thought would wear these.

    I guess the way to get this regulated is to use the glasses to record cops breaking the law.

    Smart glasses are a real threat to women, unlike trans people.

    But have you considered a trans person with smart glasses?

    I'm a trans person but, frankly, smart glasses are for cowards. I just carry a giant DSLR. Makes a meaty click when I take photos. Kinda hard to disguise. Really signals other people "if you don't want to be photographed on the public, you can, you know, dodge this, because you can see this from a kilometer away".

    Thats why I use a electronic-telescope from my balcony and zoom into the space of other peoples houses. If they didn't want me looking inside, they should've considered me a pervert.

    i don't know if you know this, but woman face a lot more regular violence in public than men.

    so i guess it's just best practice to focus on the group in a worse situation.
