Will it be like breast implants where stuff starts shifting around? Will the stuff leak out?

I was one of the earliest patients for laser corrective surgery for nearsightedness in the US, but I don't have much confidence in the efficacy of a yet-unproven technique that permanently removes the lens if there is nothing actually wrong with it.

Here's an idea. How about a procedure that reverses the age-related stiffening of the existing lens?

Presbyopia is multifactorial.

It's just not the changes in the lens but also the weakening of the muscles and fibers involved in changing it's shape.

I don't see how this prodedure could correct it, but I wish them luck.

Tests on animals have been promising.

Old animals can read better?

OK, as someone who's had three (3) corneal transplant operations, the most recent May of this year, I simply quote Monty Pyton

They should be able to treat more than just presbyopia. By fiddling with the index of refraction, they should also be able to change the focal length of the lens; in effect, adding or subtracting diopters from the eye without glasses. They just need to be careful about dispersion so as not to mess up the eye's color correction.
