"Decade-old adaptive optics technology can greatly improve the prescriptions used in laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK)—the most common laser treatment for visual disorders. [...] The data relayed by the detector dictates a prescription for the eye that has the potential to improve 20/20 to 20/10 vision, which is superhuman vision. [...] By 2010, these systems will be capable of delivering treatments that will give most patients 20/10 vision."

Saw this on slashdot.com earlier.
I would so buy these.

IIRC The article mentioned another California company has sold around 1000 pairs of their super vision glasses that restore vision to 20/20.

Where do I sign up?

I have almost 'perfect' vision but experience teaches me that all technological aids that improve my visual perception (when riding my motorcycle) could lengthen my life.
