Well, maybe not a gadget in the strictest sense but it is somewhat gadgetty....Lasik vision correction for my eyes. Not having to deal with glasses, knowing that in a disaster my weakness won't be my dependence on corrective eyewear, and just the gee whiz factor that overnight my vision went from about 20/350 to a bit better than 20/20 makes this one of the best things I ever spent money on.
My only drawback is that my once excellent, almost microscope like close up vision has gone to the dogs. I used to be able to see the dot screen on four color printing on glossy magazines with the naked eye. Now I have some discomfort reading, but not enough to need a +1 pair of reading glasses, which is the lightest that you can get in a drug store or without having a prescription filled by an optician. For detail work though I do need to wear the +1. Oh well, I gladly swap that for my new sharp distance focus.
Find a good doctor though, don't skimp on money on this because it is your eyes after all.
