    It’s the same story as with all of VR. People don’t like to strap shit to their faces, or anywhere else in their bodies. We barely tolerate watches. Every single person who wears glasses would drop them in a second if any other viable and sustainable alternative shows up. People who use and love VR put up with the fact they have to strap stuff to their faces. 3D cinema failed financially because people didn’t want to have to use simple basic glasses. Not everyone can tolerate a third of a kilo on their heads for too long.

      Not really, glasses have long since become a fashion statement and many people wear some without needing them.

      I need glasses to correct my heterotropia and even if there was some magic cure for that I’m not sure if I’d stop wearing my glasses to be honest; I kinda like them and how they make me look.

        I could get laser surgery, but I choose glasses. I prefer how I look with them than without them, and sometimes they double as eye protection.

        I know some people who don’t like their glasses, but dislike how contacts feel more. As for me - I don’t wear contacts that much because they’re a recurring expense.
