The lens is surgically implanted too, meaning you can never get cataracts as the lens replaces that of your natural eye. Anyone over the age of 25 is ideal for the surgery.

“This is vision enhancement that the world has never seen before,” says Dr. Webb “If you can just barely see the clock at 10 feet, when you get the Bionic Lens you can see the clock at 30 feet away.”

The surgery is quick and painless with Dr. Webb asserting it can be done in about 8 minutes. Vision is immediately corrected.

The project has been in development for 8 years and has cost $3 million in research and development fees. His mission has become an obsession to free himself and others from glasses and corrective lenses. Webb has been saddled with glasses since he was in the second grade.

“My heroes were cowboys, and cowboys just did not wear glasses,” Dr. Webb says.

Doctors all over the world are intrigued.

“I think this device is going to bring us closer to the holy grail of excellent vision at all ranges — distant, intermediate and near,” said Dr. Vincent DeLuise, an ophthalmologist who teaches at both Yale University and Weill Cornell Medical College in New York.
