Making My Own Glasses
Fascinating hacker story in an unexpected domain. Thank you!<p>A side note about "getting your numbers"...  The author remarks, "she’s not happy to share the measurements with me as she fears I’ll run off and get my glasses made online".<p>This will obviously vary by jurisdiction but what the author describes may be illegal in some places. e.g. where I live, there is a law since 2010 requiring opticians and optometrists "to give clients, free of charge, a copy of their prescription, sight-test assessment or contact-lens specifications — whether or not it is requested by the client — and also to give a copy, free of charge, to a third-party eyewear seller or other person if requested by the client"[1]<p>[1] <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/b-c-changes-eyewear-regulations-1.904446" rel="nofollow">https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/b-c-changes-...</a>
