Samsung and their prescription active 3D glasses

Have you ever tried wearing your 3D glasses on top of your prescription glasses? Apparently, Samsung allowed the service to provide prescription 3D glasses for their 3D TVs. After hearing about this news, an anonymous customer of Samsung electronics purchased one of their 3D TV. However, when the customer tried to get the glasses prescribed, the eye doctor didn't have any idea what Samsung was talking about and told the customer that it was not possible to make such prescription glasses with the active 3D glasses. Then the customer went ahead and complained to Samsung saying that Samsung lied just to increase their sales and took advantage of people with bad eyesight but Samsung only offered a refund without any explanation. Typical Samsung's solution to their problems.

The technology to put prescription in 3D glasses, if it exists, has a very good intention just like the prescription sunglasses we see people wearing today. However, the following point was made by LG, competitor of Samsung's 3D TVs and their point is valid. "There's a limit in producing prescription 3D glasses for Samsung. First of all, it's not a clip on, even if it was, it would be too heavy for consumers to enjoy it." LG continued, "The family will most likely share the glasses and putting prescription will be quite inconvenient for people to share it."
