Researchers are developing a futuristic alternative to LASIK that reshapes the eye without lasers or incisions. Using mild electrical pulses and platinum contact lenses, they temporarily soften the cornea so it can be molded into a new shape. Early tests on rabbit eyes successfully corrected nearsightedness in about a minute while preserving the eye’s structure.

    PRK still has the risk of halos in night vision and I’ve got my astigmatism correction pretty well dialled in with glasses so I was worried about that.

            Of course not, you silly goose!

            Why would we require a subscription when ads, and data collection produces greater revenue.

          Given the gestures vaguely state of the world

          Who exactly would you trust with creating a HUD for your eyes?

        Everyone over 60 in my lineage seems to have cataracts. So… later.
