The major game changers were antireflection coatings, modern glass types and computers to optimise the designs.

Good paper, thanks.

For the telescope you have, no need to spend hundreds of dollars on eyepieces. Try and get yourself some decent eyepieces like the ones recommended earlier from Bintel, or you could grab yourself some of the ED eyepieces - have a look around eBay.
I would stay under $100 at this stage. They will still be good eyepieces you can keep with you as you progress.

The "Sample Page 1" available as a PDF file talks about the choice of eyepieces, http://www.springer.com/astronomy/as...-1-4614-7722-8
