Tiny 'Raindrop' implant in your eye could banish reading glasses forever
Procedure would help an ageing patient's ability to focus on close up objects
Implant would combat long-sightedness which is common in over 40s
Would replace laser surgery - which can leave patients still needing glasses
Procedure costs £2,495 and is currently not available on the NHS
