    This article [1] claims a "3-line improvement" on the vision chart. It wouldn't be helpful for me (moving from 20/600 to 20/300, I'd still need correction) but would be a huge win for someone in the 20/50 to 20/80 range, correcting to 20/40, the minimum for driving without correction.

    This looks awesome, but darn, the idea of having to take it everyday? I know some people would sign up for that, but I guess I'm not ready for that.

    Very curious to hear from anyone who has tried this how it compares to surgery and other vision fixes.

      I would be curious to hear this as well. I'm 47 now and my eyesight has been getting worse. Dr. said it's normal and my eyes are good but definitely harder to read screens then it used to be.
