    So, how do you adjust to near-sighted and far-sighted? Double vision? Astigmatisms?-- Another problem with that with glasses, it takes awhile for eyes to adjust properly to what would give someone 20/20 vision. For a couple of days, it is very blurry. That's the need for an optometrist. It'd be very difficult to tell what would give you 20/20 vision (or even near there) in a couple of days.

    Awesome invention, but the reporters on the wbesite made a mistake, they're not water based, the fluid is more oil-like than waterlike.
