The only thing that is truly reversible is wearing glasses.

I have worn glasses since I was two years old. I have worn bifocals
since I was oh 45. I am effectively blind in one eye, I am
near-sighted, I have astigmatism, and now I am developing cataracts. I
carry a magnifying glass in my flying vest in case I have to study a
chart.

I am extremely skeptical of anyone who claims that he or she can't
land a plane while wearing glasses. Sounds like vanity to me. Or at
best, lack of practice. (I've had 73 years' practice.)
