Lasik surgery.
(There, we've said it.)
Maybe you're one of thousands who might see better after laser surgery... but simply don't like the idea. Read on
Eccentricity Zero Molding is the use of special contact lenses to remold the shape of the cornea while you sleep. Just put the lenses in before retiring and remove them when you wake up. No surgery. No hazy vision. Non-invasive. About half the cost! If you're a little uneasy at the thought of laser surgery, let us tell you about EZM.

It's probably Ryan's best work. As in The Doors and When a Man Loves a Woman, she has impressive dramatic range.
On their own, they're just as commanding. Pulling a 180 after his bigger-than-life Gladiator and whistleblowing Insider, Crowe conveys a mix of authority, swagger and vulnerability.
matic range.
The biggest scene stealer may be the scenery. Despite the plot-driven horrors taking place around each cloud-enshrouded peak, lush valley and gorgeous ravine, the film should do more for Ecuador's tourist trade than a roomful of Frommer guides.

So how well does the starry-eyed twosome handle on-screen amour? Crowe and Ryan acquit themselves with panache. Since they have minimal physical contact, each depends on gestures and glances to convey hints of passion. Together, they smolder.
The film's real hook is its fact-based exploration of the kidnapping of Western executives in third-world countries for huge ransoms. As such, Tony Gilroy's intelligent screenplay is utterly credible and totally terrifying.
Does anyone actually care where acting stopped and real-life romance took over for Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe on the Proof of Life set?
Movie review Crowe, Ryan deliver passion in Proof of Life
By Larry Worth
The Associated Press
gent screenplay is utterly creatively all. All is not well between upright engineer Peter Bowman (David Morse) and his corporate-hating wife, Alice (Ryan). They've recently moved to a fictional, Colombia-like country so he can build an oil company's dam while she grudgingly plays housewife.
One vow-testing argument later, he speeds off to the construction site but gets captured in a roadside ambush by leftist guerrillas. Enter no-nonsense negotiator Terry Thorne (Crowe), with his own psychological baggage. He initiates a series of mind games with the revolutionaries and with the increasingly cynical Alice.
