Since I wear trifocals, it isn't much of an option for me. I did, however, read the other day where an opthamologist has invented an artificial lens. Your old lens is removed, and the new one is rolled up and injected into the eye. It unrolls, then is moved into place. Doesn't degrade, so it's supposedly a permanent fix.
That is what they do for cataracts now. Painless, quick and simple. And insurance pays for it! Had it done last winter and I don't wear glasses now. Glad I didn't have the laser. I don't know why they don't do the lens replacement instead of laser. I guess there is a good reason.
