so... lens shaving to prevent lens rigidity?

No way to leave it perfectly clear, symetrical, perfectly powered, aimed precisely, and get to it before the tiny muscles atrophy.

The lens doesn't really heal, so you can't just cut it like a cornea. It's also really hard to get to withoit mwssing everything else up.

There's currently some scientists working on a flexible, corrected replacement lens. They started human testing like 7 years ago, and i never heard anything about it again, so i'm assuming it hasn't gone well.
