People are actually measuring the distortion a patient's eye introduces using computers and creating lenses designed specifically to fix that. It's about time eye exams actually used some, you know, science.

They are now using similar eye measurements, called wavefront guidance, in Lasik surgeries as well.

What's not scientific about "1 or 2? 1? Or 2? 1 or 2?"
I don't know! 1! No wait, 2! 1! Hold on. Yeah 1. No wait. Yeah. No. Yeah. No. Oh fuck it, 1 is good enough.
So much pressure.

Yeah, obviously. Oh wait, look, there are 5 in the SF Bay area alone and 4 of those are within 15 minutes of where I work.
