Depends on the problem. Most vision impairments are caused by bad optics like myopia, but from what it looks like, this could help those who have retina damage from uv like welders, detached retinas, or even color blindness. It would be cool if they could also use this to expand our color vision!

This gives me hope for my husband. He suffered vascular glaucoma about 5 years back, killing the retina in his right eye. Here’s hoping this advances quickly enough we might be able to fix his retina in the next 3-5 years (I realize that’s a reeeallllly short time, but he just turned 70 so it would be wonderful if this happened before he’s 80).

The thing about the hole in the ozone was that the problem was obviously visible, the culprit was found and there were relatively easy solutions to replace it and deal with the situation. So yeah all the countries got together and got rid of it. It’s a rare situation of how the whole world agreed to a solution.
