    Those people are saving your dad from:

    • wasting time and money because they don’t work
    • possibly making his condition worse because they are not MD approved prescription glasses
    • being spied on and tracked
    • having his private medical info being sold off to advertisers, insurance, employers, government, etc who will use it against him
    • disappointment because they don’t work

      Well all I can say is the macular society suggested them to him. We approached them about another product designed for vision impairment to find out if they had any experience and they said to try the meta glasses. We didn’t, but I still think if there is a camera based solution that helps him, he now won’t wear it because of the stigma.

      And for the record I’m not in need of any convincing to avoid meta.
