In re LASIK, there are also cool alternatives being tested that avoid removing corneal tissue. Electromechanical reshaping instead electrochemically molds the eye into a better shape. The upshot is vision improvement but without the downsides of LASIK and the (small) risk of complications. https://bli.uci.edu/new-eye-shaping-technique-could-replace-lasik/
Very interesting article. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the kind words, Ron! 💚 🥃

Thanks, Paul. I had no idea, thanks for sharing!
What I really want now that I'm in my 40s is a way to fix presbyopia. Let me know if you've found something for that! 💚 🥃
Great article. LASIK is so fascinating how ‘we can just fix’ vision problems. Imagine telling someone yeah we can just do that now.
I wonder if we’ll ever get to that point with hearing (though I know hearing aids have come along way)
