That's pretty neat but definitely does not replace the regular every 2 year eye exam that you should get at an optometrist, as they can check for stuff that might be happening with your eyes and treat it before it gets worse. There's more to it than knowing how well you can see from certain distances. I always thought it was odd that eye exams are every 2 years, eyes are important enough that it should be at least every 1 year imo.
Got LASIK a year ago, so glad I don't need glasses anymore, they were starting to drive me bonkers. Constantly having to clean them, getting reflections in them if there's light sources behind me etc...
My glasses prescriptions are good for two years, but contacts only for one. Less risk of complications with glasses, I assume.
