As someone who had perfect vision until 40 but now must wear reading glasses, I am super intrigued to hear about lens exchange!
When I heard that LASIK is not a solution to farsightedness, I specifically asked my eye doctor if there are other solutions for this. The only one mentioned was monovision (getting two different prescriptions for different eyes).

"Accommodate" means change focus, like your natural lens does when you focus on objects at different distances. Most artificial lenses implanted today have zero ability to change focus. There are newer "accommodative" lenses that have a limited ability to change focus, but from what my ophthalmologist told me, they're still primitive and not even close to what natural lenses do, which is why fixed focus lenses are still more common.
"Eye accommodation is the eye's ability to automatically adjust its focus to maintain a clear image as the distance to an object changes. This process involves changes in the shape of the lens, the constriction of the pupil, and the convergence of the eyes. It's a reflex action that allows us to see objects clearly both near and far" (Google)

Cannot accommodate what as well?
