Maybe you can paint some. Or 3d printed ones would be cool.

isn't 3D printed stuff plastic? How resistent would it be?or how would the lens be fitted... hm...

Probably, at least the ones that have a good choice of colors. There is polycarbonate, which is even used to make lenses for glasses, but doesn't seem to have many color options. I think people who make lenses can fit to the glasses by hand or digital measurements, but then the glasses would need the right grooves and all.

My dad wants to see an eye doctor now. And you'll never guess the reason... he wants a phone to himself |D

Biomecha · Posted 09-11-2022, 03:00 PM

Is he good with tech? Maybe it can at least occupy him. Or maybe you can use parental controls to your advantage?

mdom · Posted 09-11-2022, 04:32 PM

He's not T^T last time he had a phone it was like, 20 years ago. The phones were simpler and he was younger ehehe. But he thinks he can do it...

You can block all the extremist websites. Did anything prompt him to suddenly want one?

One physical therapist played music from his phone so now my dad thinks he can get music himself with a phone. And it's so hard to explain it's not like that...

Sounds like he's going to be persistent until he tries it himself, unfortunately for you. Hopefully it won't be too bad. There are phones for seniors, right? Not sure if that would be helpful.

they sell one here as for seniors, but I watched a video and there's a shortcut screen with big icons, but when you click on the icon everything's small again askldaskldkasd

Depending on the OS, there should be accessibility features to help it work throughout the phone. Or maybe there are apps that can help override anything to make it easier to see.

mdom · Posted 09-14-2022, 11:29 PM

yeah I don't want him to call police on accident or something |D

Biomecha · Posted 09-15-2022, 12:22 AM

Can you be certain that it wasn't intentional?

~I think you can actually use different materials but I think plastic is the basic stuff.~

Yeah he said several times he's in prison because we don't let him out |D there was a pandemic though!!! he's old!! we only let him out for doctor appointments T^T

You were all prisoners! It's still weird to think we went through that and are still going through parts of it.
