Death, taxes, and needing bifocals when you get older are the three things that that you just cannot avoid. Well, maybe we can help with the last one soon. A company in California called Revision Optics has developed a special small lens that is implanted into the front surface of the eye which builds a bifocal into the vision and for many patients could be a future without the dreaded bifocals. This little plastic lens is about twice the size of the period at the end of this sentence and being so small, it does not make much of an impact on the distance vision. Yet for vision up close, it can make all the difference in the world. We are about to begin an FDA clinical trial on this implant along with four other centers throughout the United States. In Europe it already has the CE mark and will soon be implanted in several locations. It is exciting to be a part of such an elegant solution to an age old problem. As to death and taxes, well we can't help you with those.
