> The side effects are minor: my night vision has degraded somewhat: halos around lights can make depth-perception while driving slightly difficult, and I can't distinguish shapes in the dark as well. Not a big deal, mostly just slightly annoying when camping.

Strange, I have those same side effects from getting older! That happens to everybody with age.

I look forward to the day that I can stick some stem cells in a vat, come back in a month or two, and have some brand-new eyeballs.

I'm 24 w/ astigmatism and I have those same problems. Night vision and halos / starbursts.

astigmatism is the real problem as far as halos are concerned.
