Anytime I asked about disposables, I was told "not for me". Even glasses were "not recommended" because my eyes would continue to deteriorate.
25 years later, my rx is still within .5 of the original -5... And considering my father's rx is around -16, I think RGPs are right for me. |
Hi kaydoob. Thanks for signing up to this forum. I'm glad you like the RGP lenses so much. A lot of people are afraid to even try them, and then there are those like yourself who won't wear anything else.
Did your eye doctor tell you why your eyes were "deteriorating quickly" at age 15? Did he mean that your eyes were physically breaking down from some kind of disease or something, or did he mean that your vision was changing quickly, which is common in teenagers?
