To be fair, its not like they can just connect an HDMI cable up to your visual cortex and look for themselves...

There are now machines (Autorefractor) that will (more!) accurately get your prescription auto-magically. A couple of years ago I went to place that had one, but where the doctor also checked the traditional way. The results were the identical.

I'd guess that inside of 10 years you will just get your prescription by computer and that inside of 25 surgery or other solutions will be automated and permanent. This industry of charlatans will be no more.
