I'm very short sighted and as I get older, I'm having to use reading glasses or bi-focals.I'm one of those that was "stable" for 20+ years! but now I'm into my 60's it's all change again..albeit slowly.I was reading an article about 10 years or so ago, in a specialist publication for eye surgeons. One guy was saying that the cornea is made of cellulose, the same stuff you see getting all crinkly at the top of legs at the back. He said that the operations haven't been around long enough yet, but he said that by shaving a layer off the cornea meant that as one got older, the cornea itself was liable to crinkle and you'd lose your vision. That's scary.So that plus my eyes are changing makes it a no no for me, alas.</blockquote>
