Echo Frames – Eyeglasses with Alexa

Ah, this explains all the push back I got from Warby Parker about not providing a lens prescription. I'd already used Zenni before and gotten used to treating my glasses like what they are...a simple product with lens ground to a specification, not a potentially threatening medication.

Too bad their support couldn't explain why they were hassling me for a document they didn't need (except for in a legal sense).

Why is the legal sense some sort of surprising exception?

Zenni also requires an up to date prescription.

No they don't. You just have to enter the numbers.

I can't find the source, but I remember reading something along the lines that the whole "need prescription" was a bullshit ploy created by Luxottica Group to coerce people to going to LensCrafter.

Free markets and globalism are good for everyone except lawyers and doctors. The two professions most overrepresented in congress. Funny how that is huh?

What about... unskilled poor people in developed countries?
