From the post:

>Doctors have developed special eye drops for people with longsightedness that could replace the need for reading glasses or surgery. Hundreds of millions of people worldwide have presbyopia, which is when the eyes find it difficult to focus on objects and text up close. Glasses or surgery can usually resolve the problem but many find wearing spectacles inconvenient and having an operation is not an option for everyone. Now experts say the solution could be as simple as using eye drops twice a day.
