Question: I am shortsighted and it is rather annoying now. How far are you into the process?

Hi Spartana
Hey, me too! We’re quite unusual, most people put their glasses on to read, but I take mine off. I agree it’s annoying, but because it can be easily corrected with glasses, it is not considered important enough to be worth doing research on. Perhaps one day, when blindness has been sorted, then people will turn their attention to myopia.
