    Probably pretty effective. Urea is a common ingredient in tooth whitening products, plus it's naturally virtually sterile (when fresh).

    If the solar system were shrunk down to the size of your body, the sun being your head, pluto your feet, uranus would be right where you think it is.

    Interocular lens implant improvements will eventually withing the next few years be at the point were full adaptive vision can be restored after your "birth" lens has degraded and is best removed.

    Are you near sighted and read without your glasses?
    If you're over 60, I'd bet you whatever amount of money you like that you at least show early signs of cataracts.
    If you're refering to bifocal IOL's, they already exist and actually work pretty damned well. Unfortunately, the bifocal implants are considered a luxory item and aren't covered by insurance. It will cost you an extra $4200 to upgrade your implants to bifocals when you have cataract surgery.
    You're probably a latent hyperope, have convergence excess, or simply accomodative insufficiency.
    Then either he didn't read very much, was a little bit near sighted, or was a one in a million exception to the rule. I often hear tales of these people who never needed glasses until they were seventy. But I've never examined anyone 50 years or older who didn't need bifocals.
