At some point as we get older, we need reading glasses. A new procedure may allow us to get older and skip those bifocals. It's called Presbyopia when aging eyes can't focus well, anything up close looks like a blur. You think you're ready for it, but often you're not. This experimental procedure may end that trouble.

Supporters say that this allows your slack eye muscles to shape the lens and let you see up-close. Some eye doctors have had the operation themselves in Mexico. In this country the procedure's experimental, but many experts think it could be approved soon and they say you could throw away the reading glasses and turn back the clock. Some nasal sprays may be making a cold or sinusitis more likely. They're saline sprays, salt water, often given for a child's stuffy nose.
