I was 15 and I trusted my eye doctor...that simple, no courage required. He said that my eyes were deteriorating quickly and that the rigid lenses were the way to keep them from getting too weak. I never tried anything else.

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.
Thanks for answering my question so fast.

Aren't you curious as to why your doctor said that disposable contact lenses were "not for you"? Your vision continues to deteriorate, so why are rigid lenses better? Wouldn't it be easier to change the prescription if you only wear your contacts for a day or a week?

I'm not trying to interrogate you, I'm just curious.
