Disruptive tech incoming!
Get a regular optometrist. They are mapping your brain.
The one you were stumped on doesn’t even look like it has a number in it lol. Starred at it for a minute n still have no idea what it is
What a time to be alive! The last half of this video made me so freaking excited as a legally blind person for what the future may hold for me and for us
This is great, my wife is an eye doctor and it’s so hard giving me my eye exam, not to mention my sons! Tracking technology along with keeping the eyes centered for a blinker like me would probably make my eye exam so short contrary to what it is now. I’m really excited for AR contact lenses! Glasses are heavy for me and I feel like I’m in a fishbowl so contacts are my preference. As soon as there are AR contacts, I will be in line! As soon as someone’s got AR glasses, I’ll be the first to be in line to try those too! I’ll wear them over my contacts! 😄
AR Glasses are better than Screens or VR
Who would have thought that screens can help improve vision. Suck it grandma
Damn
the future is more affordable?🤔
Mom: Watching TV closer affects eyes
2022 Tech: Let’s try ar/vr goggles for eye exam
Imma be walking around like I’m the Predator with heat detecting filters 💀
It could reduce human errors and prevent fraudulent record keeping from the likes of Optical Express. I’d sooner trust a closed automated system than an easily manipulated human input.
I cannot wait for this to come to my eye doc! I’ve done a demo of Magic Leap’s first headset and know that ML2 is going to be all that much better. Technology is amazing.
No I’m good I much rather go and see a doctor
So what was the number he couldn’t see? I couldn’t see it either.
Brutal Zuckerberg-style ad placement
I’ll wear a pair. Options I eventually want when I buy a pair of ‘digital’ glasses: 360 vision mode, infrared and thermal vision, teraherz vision (see thru objects) and super zoom.… 😆
Just to clarify, a visual field tester, color vision testing, dark adaptation, and contrast sensitivity testing is NOT a comprehensive eye exam. In it’s current form, I can see it being used adjunctively in an office setting to replace one or two other pieces of specialized testing equipment, but not to replace a physical exam. As an Optometrist who enjoys technology and gadgets, I hope it continues to progress. It’s just not there yet.
This is amazing!!!!
I would love to wear AR glasses!
Thank you, CNET and engineers who stands behind the product!
People like shiny new things, but this doesn’t even remotely replace a proper eye exam: refraction, ocular motility, IOP measuring, anterior and posterior segment examination, OCT, corneal topography, etc, etc, etc. There’s so much more in ophthalmology and this seems just an expensive gadget that doesn’t really contribute much to patients’ care. And, let’s be honest, if a patient decides to use this multiple times a day just to check and be sure his colour vision or visual field is normal, is a doctor or technician really supposed to analyse multiple exams from multiple patients, while doing his/her usual work at a busy clinic and OR? I don’t really see the value in this, honestly. Get a proper eye exam. And maybe an opinion from eye care providers not related to the company developing this thing 👍
Would I wear vision correcting headset?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
I’ve suffered with poor visual fields for over 40 years. If that would help, I’d be on it straight away!
Unless several of these hardware features get baked into a pervasive headset, no one is doing this at home with a remote doctor.
Would be nice if we could download a VR vision testing app in the comfort of our home. The app determines your prescription and you can order your own lenses.
