    This is what I found curious, why only the men are experiencing the vision change?

    Barratt is one of 10 male astronauts, all older than 45, who have not recovered. Barratt returned from a six-month stint aboard the station in October 2009 and has experienced a profound change in his sight.He used to be nearsighted. But now, the space veteran says he’s eagle-eyed at long distance but needs glasses for reading. There is no treatment and no answers as to why female space flyers are not affected.

    Female astronauts make up a statistically insignificant number of participants in this stuby, therefore the entire data set is invalid.

    They show the Superfocus in there and utilize as the vision needs vary in distance and due to changes in the eye.
    This product works!

    Is there ANY ONE that looks worse in Superfocus than Penn Jillette? He must have all of three mm worth of temporal vision.
