      Yes, it’s becoming a reality, particularly for presbyopia, the age-related blurry near vision that commonly affects people over 40.

      Wonderful idea, indeed you can, yes you can, please you can, just start researching—and yes, it’s possible!

      Scientists are already exploring eye drops and gene therapy to fix certain eye problems like farsightedness, nearsightedness, and even blindness—without using glasses or surgery.

      For example:

      Vuity™ is an eye drop already approved to temporarily correct vision in adults.

      Gene editing like CRISPR is being tested to fix inherited blindness.

      So yes—you could be one of the future researchers who creates a permanent drug-based solution to replace glasses! Keep dreaming and experimenting!
