I don't even know half of what the optometrist's office does. The bright light that shines into your eyes, the pupil dilator, all seems unnecessary. Those alphabet tests - really, the difference between two different 'powers' is so minimal I can barely make out. Call me a cynic - but the eye exam is an enormous waste of money and time. This device is perhaps what we need for fast and reliable eye care.

Oh and let me not even go to the spectacles cost. 150$ for a 'cheap' titanium frame, ya right :).

www.zennioptical.com is probably the place to go then. Get your prescription here in the states, then offshore the manufacturing of the glasses.
Thanks, I've moved back to India now.
