Could you build this?

Partial The marketplace UI and standard OCR are accessible, but reliably parsing non-standard handwritten optical prescriptions into precise vision parameters requires specialized optical domain data.

What it would actually take: Built using Next.js, FastAPI, and Stripe/Twilio for marketplace transactions and booking local opticians. The core challenge is the optical prescription parser, which must extract sphere, cylinder, axis, and pupillary distance from diverse doctor handwriting and varied regional paper formats without dangerous hallucination errors, requiring medical OCR fine-tuning.
