My wife had Lasik about 3 years ago, and the difference was astonishing. She had always had really terrible vision -- like couldn't see me across the room bad -- and suddenly she had 20/10 cyborg eyes, and could see way better than me.
I had always had good vision, better than 20/20, since childhood. But I am 38 now, and my vision is deteriorating -- not unusually for my age, but enough that I can tell the difference.
I went to an eye doctor, and during the exam while they hooked me up to that weird device with dozens of lenses, and one of them let me see perfectly again. "This one!" I shouted excitedly, but in the end they told me that my vision was still too good to make glasses for.
Still, my wife's experience gives me hope that as I get even older and my vision gets even worse, they might be able to do something for me. Previously I had just been hoping I might live long enough to get some Neuromancer-style Zeiss-Ikon implants.
