	That's my question.  I can readily see how it will fix vision
	for a certain focal length, but what about the hardened lenses?
	They are still hard, are they not?

	Sure wish someone would find a way to resoften the lens.

	I have heard that the vision improves once again in many people
	once they top age 50 to 55.  Anyone know if this is so?

	It was unpleasant enough not to be able to do my goldsmith work
	when the eyes started going south... now I can't even make out
	the comparatively large details in a piece of forged iron.  Not
	very pleasant.
