How many years would you be willing to trade off...?


Explanation:
That's how I see it, Robert. To me "how many of these/those years" just doesn't sound right. If it were my translation, I'd go with something like:

"Should new technology be developed, how many years would you be willing to trade off for normal sight? Pick one option below."
