I Had Eye Surgery for Smart Glasses. Apple's Better Be Worth It.
Apple's smart glasses reportedly have a date — WWDC 2027 — and I've been wearing Meta's Ray-Bans every single day for the past year. So here's the honest version: what living with smart glasses is actually like, what I hope Apple fixes, and the ridiculous thing I did because of them.
Yes, I got LASIK. Partly because of smart glasses. I explain.
What's in here: why I almost never use the camera (it's not the reason you'd think), the one feature that actually sold me, why Meta's app drives me up the wall, why I physically switch these off at home, and the question I get asked every single time someone notices I'm wearing them.
A note on the rumors: everything about Apple's glasses here comes from Mark Gurman's reporting at Bloomberg (Power On, July 26, 2026) plus earlier reports linked below. Nothing is confirmed. Apple hasn't announced a product, a price, or a date.
One correction to something I say in the video: I guess Apple will land around $500 or higher. Bloomberg has actually reported they're targeting the $200–$500 range in the US. I'd love to be wrong in that direction.
Would you trust Apple with a camera on your face all day? And should I take these to Disney and film the whole trip? Both questions are real — tell me in the comments.
