So my vision is 20/200. Am I blind. I think I'm because I can't function without my contact lenses or my glasses. With those I can see 20/20. So am I considered blind? Will I die?

Why don't they make flexible IOL for multifocal vision?
Inter Ocular Lens's replace the eye's natural lens for people with cataracts or age related vision deterioration.
The latest technology has a multi focal lens construction, made of rings. This allows the main vision area to have both up close and distant vision at once. The brain learns to use this information to see clearly without the use of glasses.
However, because part of your vision is now used for up close and part for distant vision. There's less light available for vision processing and so your vision may appear dimmer.
My question is, the eye muscles do not deteriorate with age. It is the flexible lens that becomes stiffer, so the muscles can't adjust it's shape as well as they did when you were younger. So why not replace the body's natural flexible lens, with an artificial flexible lens?
Surely medical technology must be getting close to being able to achieve this? We're starting to see 3D body part printing, highly sophisticated mechanical and electrical replacements.
Why not develop a fix for age related eye deterioration that affects everyone in the world? With billions of people needing this surgery, the company that develops this solution would make incalculable amounts of money.
