I don’t know if this will be allowed in the US.

Eye doctors will say it is to dangerous to allow people to not be checked out on a regular basis. There is technology for hearing aids to be sold at kiosks, but the doctors say that would hurt people if they are not examined to test for brain damage.

Using the government to protect your monetary self interest in the name of public safety is nothing new. Ever wonder what the cost of plumbers, contractors, hairstylists and healthcare workers would be if not for the government?...........

I would say that. It is true.

However, I would NOT use that argument to try to prevent this device being brought to market. As for so many complex medical conditions, this gadget will function near perfectly in limited situations, will be merely variably acceptable in many others, and for some condtions, not applicable at all.

And, by the way, I often vote against my own professional, self-interest in lieu of the conservative, small-government cause.

I drilled down from the site and found a US supplier. They are on back order and will not ship until July 1. $40 + $10 shipping.
