Comment "Smaller than a hair" - no (Score 1) 15

If you read the article carefully, they are talking about lenses THINNER than a hair. I see several of the posts here thinking the width/radius of the lenses is this small, a reasonable mistake given the way this was written. Having a radius that small would severely reduce their light gathering ability, requiring very bright light or very dim images or very long exposure times.

While I accept your point, I feel it necessary to add that the problems you are referring to, excessive cost and poor quality, are American problems. The rest of the civilised world has low cost or free healthcare and doctors that aren't ground into apathy by the capitalist machine.

So the rest of the world would like to be cautious because we like what we have. Unlike Americans we do have something to lose.
