Well, these are prototypes after all. Get the engineering done and then turn them over to design. Mybe we’ll look less like dorks and more like X-Men!

Your humor is just fine. Just try looking for your glasses when you need them to see well enough to find them. And only later find out your kid was playing a joke on you. I’m just glad my kid has my sense of humor and not her mother’s.

Looking at the photo, I’ve never seen anything that screamed more loudly, “Beat me up and take my lunch money!” Of course, that’s just the insensitive, questionable humor of someone who hasn’t yet had any serious vision problems. Few things are more important than clear vision, and whatever it take to achieve it is well worth it. Good luck with your surgery, Dave.

I’m having cateract surgery next month for my left eye. Right now, I’m looking forward to seeing anything clearly with it. I’ve got progressive lenses now, but you’re right, Framitz, I’ll still need reading glasses afterwards, or so I’m told.

Great idea, but if you think my wife would be seen in public with me if I wore those things…

Over the past two years I have had cateract surgery on both eyes. Since having the cateracts removed and lenses implanted I have 20/20 vision at distance, but can not focus close. (I can legally drive with no vidion correction for the first time since I was 18!)

I am not complaining, but it could be better.

Glasses like this would be great because with refinement they could autofocus for me depending on distance.
