Nearsighted? What's with that? The rest of the story part unfolded in ways that I might have expected, but the nearsighted bit has thrown me for as much of a loop as Clark. And I'm intrigued by the fact that he is borrowing Lane's father's body, so to speak, rather than having simply swapped universes/times with him. (Were it not for the nearsighted part, I might have assumed that Clark's explanation to Lane was not the correct one.)
Could this be time, rather than universe, swapping, and could Clark/Superman's sight actually start degenerating when he was only perhaps 40 or so? (Yes, I know that younger people get nearsighted -- I myself started when I was about five or six -- but this is *Clark* we're talking about.)
Looking (with glasses) forward to part four.
Joy,
