A medical device, and treatment protocol has been shown to be effective in the treatment of Myopia and loss of Color Vision.  Researches at the Nippon Experimental Dive Unit have observed a beneficial Vision side effect in research subjects testing a FIENO rebreather.

    Subjects who had nearsightedness corrected with eye glasses, and a Color Vision deficiency showed complete resolution of Both of those problems after one hundred hours on the unit.
This unexpected result will no doubt be hailed throughout the medical and diving community as a miracle.

    Minor side effects discovered by this study included, (1)  an increase in melanin production resulting in a change in Hair color and Skin tone (most pronounced in Caucasians), (2) a stretching of the medial and lateral angle of the eyelids, and (3) the shedding of unnecessary clothing.

I noticed that someone was selling a FIENO rebreather on ebay today (1/22/03), see:

and I just couldn't resist the temptation to "lift" the images from junkdude14's page and present the above.
