I struggled with contacts in high school and college. Could never really see as good as with glasses, but was worth it then. I tried again a year ago and had to pull over while driving and switch back to glasses. Bummer!

hard to call foul on Netflix for not being on the $3500 low volume headset when Apple TV+ is available everywhere but 2.5 billion Android phones

NEW: Netflix snubs the Vision Pro and is not planning a visionOS app, nor will it allow its iPad app to run on the headset. Instead, it’ll tell users to watch Netflix from the web browser. Apple has many other entertainment apps signing on however.
