I dunno, these online eye tests could be transmitting damaging subliminal messages to already overly-receptive millennial brains …
I am interested in seeing comments on this story. Personally I like the idea of going to the office and getting checked. I think of the internet testing as being a screening tool to see if you have eye problems, but that you should then follow up with a professional exam. Maybe I’m not looking at this the way others do?
i agree with you. Internet eye exam is a horrible idea. Eye doctors now can detest a lot of diseases from just looking at your eyes. They inside of the eye has become a real description of the rest of the body. Idiots would be the only ones to do an internet eye exam. Out of 330 million people you will always have a percentage of dumb people.
An Optometrist visit is more than just corrective lenses, its about checking the health of the eyes and looking for potential problems like glacouma, retinal detachment, macular degeneration, cataracts etc. I will be going every year just for that alone.

It’s not the cost and time of an office visit that bothers me so much, it’s the hassle and cost of frames and lenses.
And I hear there is one big conglomerate that basically has a monopoly on those. I forget the name.
But I could see an app as a screening tool. The more info you get, the better.
