Hard to believe that there is no way they can treat your eyes.

Got to chime in on this one... Conspiracy Theorist much?
There's so many things wrong with this statement it's hard to know where to begin. I'm a qualified Optician (haven't practiced for over 15 years so no claims of bias should be able to be made) so can speak from a position of some authority on this. Eye care isn't a case of "heal it and done" so cannot be compared to medical conditions as you seem to want to do, there are obviously eye conditions which can be healed and forgotten about however most of them can't they are an on-going care issue.
The issue we are talking about here though, presbyopia, is not a medical condition that you can take a pill or drops for, it cannot be "healed" it is a natural part of the ageing process and gets progressively worse as you get older. It starts affecting most people from the age of 45 however it can start much earlier or indeed much later (though later is much rarer). I've dealt with children as young as 4 with presbyopia and a few cases of adults well into their 60's before they started suffering. It's caused by the lens in the eye losing it's elasticity as you get older, there is nothing that can be done to prevent this (at this time; there may well be in the future) and will affect everybody at different rates.
As for the bit about money being all Opticians/Opthalmologists care about I find that really offensive, no self respecting Optician will try to sell a patient something they don't need (and indeed can lose their license to practice if they try), there will always be bad apples in any large group of people but the vast majority are not.

Please don't spread misinformation like this, it's complete and utter baloney. Your eyesight will never "permanently" adjust for near vision it's physically not possible. Far vision occurs when the eye is at rest i.e. the ciliary muscle is relaxed so the ligaments holding the lens in place and the pressure of the aqueous and vitreous humour (the fluid in the eye) cause the lens to flatten giving you your far vision, the opposite happens when you focus on a near object or read close up, the ciliary muscle contracts causing the lens in the eye to become fatter (more +ve in strength) allowing you to see close up. This is why reading prescription help is needed as you get older because the lens cannot change its shape as easily as it did when you were younger and eventually will not be able to change it's shape enough to allow you to focus at a close distance.

I'm sorry that sentence made no sense to me I'm struggling to infer what you actually meant by it? Are you trying to say that thinking ergo reading is bad?
