I'd rather they worked on making regular prescription eyeglasses and frames less expensive. That would help a lot more people and could still be profitable considering the huge markups on frames now.

You can literally buy prescription glasses (including the lenses) for like 20$ on AliExpress. How much cheaper would you want them to be?

I'd rather see easy to use 3d printers and good designs that you can buy yourself and tweak if you want to.
