Hey, Dragon, that last one goes without saying. Not that long ago I got a terrifically nasty surprise when, in the field of view of my right eye, there hung suspended an L-shaped hairlike object which could not be swept aside. With much dismay it was noticed to be embedded within my cornea/lens. The crystalline "cobwebs" that eventually criss-cross one another and fill up the internal lens space to obstruct vision is a terrible price to pay for older age.
This is not like laser-eye surgery which is invoked to satisfy aesthetics in the main. In that case I'd rather wear the eye-glasses than allow a laser beam to permanently dismantle what already works adequately. I'm more than likely to opt for the artificial lenses because then one can at least see something.
You can also take natural supplements, such as astaxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin to help protect your eyes. Not forgetting vitamins A, B2 and zinc. The list is by no means exhaustive. The dilemma of navigating through all the pros and cons you've raised shows that ultimately, in one way or another, vision is something that can't be taken for granted.

How did it work out, Dragon?

I cancelled my appointment with the optometrist I used last year. I'm looking at one I saw about 20 years ago that was really good and another a few blocks away that I've never seen.
As far as vision is concerned, my left eye is fine, but my right is very blurred.
Thanks for the update. Good luck, Dragon.
