>>12727401>millennia of "ophthalmology" gave us glassesThat was lens grinding and optics that gave you glasses.
Opthalmology gave us the ability to liquify the natural lens with ultrasound so it can be sucked out of the eye and replace it with a plastic one. To treat retinal detachment and other pathologies by burning the retinal layers together with lasers and to treat glaucoma with eye drops instead of surgery. All of which can prevent something that otherwise lead to permanent blindness of one form or another.
But enjoy your glasses you 4 eyed tard.
