I am in my second year of Optometry school and I know how bad this is.  The reason why is because it ONLY fixes your refraction!  It fails to adjust your eye's accommodation and bilateral fixation.....TRUST ME....you will end up with MORE EXPENSIVE procedures in the future if you rely on this application...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Edward Byer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2010 12:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MIT's Android optometry app could help you stop squinting all the time (video)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/mits-android-optometry-app-could-help-you-stop-squinting-all-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/mits-android-optometry-app-could-help-you-stop-squinting-all-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[wow very cool!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[clutchy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2010 12:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MIT's Android optometry app could help you stop squinting all the time (video)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/mits-android-optometry-app-could-help-you-stop-squinting-all-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/mits-android-optometry-app-could-help-you-stop-squinting-all-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[great does it work on Gilbert Gottfried?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[darok3k]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2010 1:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MIT's Android optometry app could help you stop squinting all the time (video)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/mits-android-optometry-app-could-help-you-stop-squinting-all-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/mits-android-optometry-app-could-help-you-stop-squinting-all-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[@darok3k Or how about that dude from 3rd Rock from the Sun?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[allenu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 3rd 2010 11:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MIT's Android optometry app could help you stop squinting all the time (video)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/mits-android-optometry-app-could-help-you-stop-squinting-all-th/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/mits-android-optometry-app-could-help-you-stop-squinting-all-th/</guid><description><![CDATA[I wish I had their brains.

There must be a signed and dated prescription given by a doctor in order for lenses to be sold or created.  Any retail outlet that ignores this is in violation of state law for most states.  Not to mention, most optometrists offices have an auto-refractor that operates similarly in order to give the doctor a ball park starting point, and the results from that machine and the final prescription from the doctor are often significantly different.  Not to mention, many online optical shops still contact your doctors office to confirm the prescription before manufacturing.  There is extraordinarily little risk of this device being used to circumvent this process.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sam]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2010 8:36PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
