I went and got my eyes tested today, and I've ordered some new glasses despite the kick in the guts to my savings account.
I'm so impressed by the amazing tech nowadays that can help me see better, but it's a sad fact that my vision now -- impaired as it might be -- is the best it's going to be.
There's a game called Deus Ex where the characters have 'augmentations' using nanotechnology (or something) and they improve/enhance human abilities and friends, if this technology were available and accessible today, you'd better believe I would get it in a heartbeat. I would so love to be able to see well without needing visual aids.
(all that said, thank goodness for visual aids, and my eyes are otherwise healthy with no sign of degeneration, so yay for that)
