Wow! This gives me even more confidence in the advancements of LASIK and the potential it holds for transforming people's lives by reducing their dependence on prescription eyewear!
Awesome video and great incorporation of class concepts. LASIK is something I always think about getting done, so it was cool to get more detailed information and where it's potentially going.
Really great video with good incorporation of class concepts - love the way the team incorporated the man to read out the script. Such a life-changing opportunity to see the world with newfound clarity.
I found this very informative video, I didn't realize there were so many methods to eye surgery! I've personally have thought about getting Lasik and have been recommended by friends. I'm glad a learnt a little more before making this decision!
Can we talk about the AI with the voice actor? Woah. As someone who has been debating LASIK for years now, this is really interesting. My brother and sister-in-law had lasik successfully years ago, but with so many different perspectives on it I’ve never been comfortable enough to go through with it. The advancements in AI could be a game changer
Clever use of AI to synchronize the text-to-speech and the actor! Hopefully AI makes LASIK even more affordable and safe. In laboratory settings, it is very difficult to account for 'human error' as it is very difficult to predict and mitigate. AI could act as a third-party which could be held accountable in the event of error. This could prevent the loss of jobs of trained optometrists by holding the organization accountable instead. However, it may also de-value the work performed by such professionals.
interesting topic! I'm curious to know if anyone in the class has received lasik themselves? The idea of it kind of freaks me out - but this video definitely made a lot of those nerves vanish
Great video. I liked the animated presenter but it definitely falls into the uncanny valley and seems a bit creepy. Why do you think poor vision and myopia is increasing in the world? I wonder if human vision is evolving to be myopic since so much of our day to day lives involves looking at things very close, such as screens and books. It could also be that it's not increasing and we have just gotten better at detecting and diagnosing these vision problems as eye care becomes more common. Looking at the individual s-curves that you identified it is clear that these new techniques are overtaking the older ones, but it would be interesting to consider the overall s-curve of laser surgery vs corrective lenses of eyeglasses and contacts. Do you foresee that laser correction may one day completely replace eye glasses?
