@gigabrain: wouldn't be too hard, you probably just haven't talked to an optician that knows what he's doing, a -6.75 is easily within the realm of making sunglasses if you pick out the right frame for it. Now that you mention it, a lot of the z87.1 stamped safety frames I've made for patients would probably work…

@gigabrain: if this was done on the front side of the lens (to however high degree it can go) then the back side of the lens wouldn't need as high of a prescription ground in it... could be a solution!

@gelatinous_d: all these other replies are forgetting about what LASIK and PRK surgery does, scratches (cuts or burns) the deeper layers of the cornea. But no, even in theory it wouldn't work for this kind of application.

@kerry: binocular vision (2 eyes) is the brains primary method, it takes a conscious effort (or lack of the 2 eyes working together or only having one eye) to switch that natural mechanism over.

@CommodoreRake: pinhole glasses are generally used more for visual therapy for young kids or for some very specific problems with the (extremely) older population but regarding people with presbyopia the lack of light making it through the grid is more costly to proper vision than their poor eyesight.

HEY

@bombastinator: yeah, they've always been really active with all that stuff... I'm the black sheep of the family that clicks on the nsfw links on gizmodo (and sometimes has to untag weekend party pics that are... nsfw)

@trs: no, there's still a perception difference when a camera is pulled back farther, like in the movies when something dramatic happens and the video camera shows the subject but the background zooms in/out, the subject is still the same size in the frame but the background changes significantly. 5D can overcome this…

It's a really big help when bills start piling up, grocery bills are one of the first (big) expenses that can be easily cut down.

Tiger hit a camera lens before when shooting a commercial for Nike, but it was a $10,000 video camera lens and it was from something like 50 to 75 yards away. Here's the video

@♥♦ Goopplesoft ♣♠: I think there's a lot of photographers that like woody knobs getting off, it's no accident. At least in my line of work that's what the photographers do (modeling industry).

@92BuickLeSabre: by people too old to figure out how to use that 1990's technology (much less the 2010 tech).

looks like something that would pop up on a Mr. Bean/Bond gag movie as he's in a high speed chase.

@oopsmyeye: scratch that, you only need to verify your .edu email, not change the primary email on file.

woo hoo! I gotta go update my email address on file for them.

I claim this planet in the name of Mars.

I remember something a little like this from my childhood...

I wonder how many more toes I'm going to lose?

Sweet! Another app I'm going to (re)fall in love with, use for 2 days then not use for 2 years!

@crazypills77: Yeah dude, grab the salad spoons!
