With age, the lenses in our eyes often lose the ability to change shape enough to focus light from near objects onto the retina - a condition called presbyopia. This leaves people who were already short-sighted unable to focus on either near or distant objects. Bifocals offer a solution by having two lenses in the same frame, but users must get used to tilting their head up or down to switch focus. Zeev Zalevsky at Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan, Israel, has developed a technique to turn a standard lens into one that perfectly focuses light from anything between 33 centimetres away and the horizon. It involves engraving the surface of a standard lens with a grid of 25 near-circular structures each 2 millimetres across and containing two concentric rings. The engraved rings are just a few hundred micrometres wide and a micrometre deep. "The exact number and size of the sets will change from one lens to another," depending on its size and shape, says Zalevsky

My Armani's cost $30.

My uncle's an ophthalmologist/surgeon, and in Beirut, where everything's cheap anyway. Cheap glasses + doctor's discount = win.

This is great. I'm the only one in my family that can actually see properly. I hope this is is good as it sounds.

This is awesome. However, that being said, corrective eye surgery was the best money I ever spent.
