What's a little scoliosis among friends?

Well, a little scoliosis is what I have; just enough to give me life-long back problems, but not severe enough to require intervention through surgery (by the time it was discovered, I was already in my 20's, so bracing for correction wasn't an option).
However, if you suffer from this (or know someone who does) you will find this link interesting. Will is the son of friends Dave and Elaine Rotor, and his story leads one to think his name should be Will Power.

Eye Wear

My deep-end friend Wendy had a post the other day about her visit to her eye doctor, and since I work for optometrists I took a keen interest! For one thing, I noted that eye exams are much costlier in the city (our guys charge $85). The glasses sound slightly pricier as well, though it is hard to be sure when you don't know the exact type of lenses.

What interested me most was Dave's comment about intraocular lenses as a fix for presbyopia; so I talked to one of my bosses to get his take on them. He says this is mainly being done in the States right now, and the lens is much like a bifocal contact lens - concentric rings, with both powers present in the lens. Based on that, I think I'll be waiting for a better fix; I have tried the bifocal contacts and absolutely hate them. Bad vision all the time was my experience. I'll wait for a better lens. Meanwhile, there are lots of funky glasses to wear!
