I have perfect vision now but massive genetic risks for ARMD and glaucoma; when I get much older, blindness is likely without proper lifestyle and care. I’m fine with periodically going to optometrists who’s expertise will catch such issues. I can understand people whom have stable prescriptions not needing expertise all the time, but effectively decimating optometrists would be a horrible idea. As a diversification of risk, optometrists need to specialize and/or get side businesses because automation will incessantly nibble away at every profession and risk institutional wisdom that isn’t easily rebuilt.
