@green So it's actually an incredibly well-done adaptation imo. Emphasizes a totally different set of points to make it work better as a film, without losing the same core. Also it is absolutely beautifully shot and edited.

@starkatt if you photoshop the date off the script and send it that works too <3

Like okay sure getting up-to-date lens strengths is good.

But I am confident that the which particular lenses optometrists have you try on and then write a prescription for is more a function of marketing than anything else.
