Los Angeles - One of the problems that everyone has as they turn 45 is they lose their reading vision... Now imagine having better vision with no Lasik and no lenses?

The Acufocus Corneal Inlay is a tiny eye ring that creates a permanent "pinhole effect" to make near vision clearer.

Doctors call this procedure the "Reading Vision Implant" and they are trying to find out whether this method can help test subjects throw out their reading glasses.

The Acufocus Corneal Inlay is still experimental, and is only available through clinical trials.

If you're interested in learning more about the trials the national toll free number to call is 1-877-982-3858
