Have needed glasses for the last 20 years and reading glasses for 15 years prior to that. Didn't mind the reading glasses but I HATE the regular progressives. Vanity, pure and simple and I'm 75! I'm the only one of six siblings that needs them.
I use cheap reading glasses ($1 at the .99 cent store) for reading and the computer and like them better than my progressives.
Do any of you recall some Australian researchers who were experimenting some 5-6 years ago with restoring glasses-free vision? I believe they were replacing the lens fluid with an oil of some sort, exposing it to UV or IR radiation, and voila! - no need for glasses.
Yeah, that smacks a bit of the miracle cures that eventually amount to nothing. Anybody recall that story and/or know what became of that effort?
