Nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, as well as more serious disorders like cataracts and glaucoma, they&#8217;re all part of the picture.  Socially, vision problems have gone from signs of weakness to being so widespread as to be perfectly acceptable, even normal.  Not too long ago, it was [...]]]></description>
