I guess that while it's possible that our natural eyesight may be getting worse as glasses and surgery can easily correct many imperfections and thereby cancel out any major disadvantage, very soon genetic engineering could help eliminate "bad eyesight" genes from the gene pool, just as it could eliminate other genetic problems - and give your dolphins a smart pair of hands!
