Been wearing glasses since the 4th grade. Broke many a pair just being a boy. Got a job and got contacts at 16. They were "hard" flexible but rigid contacts, the floated on a layer of liquid on my cornea, but when that dried...pain! When all was good...fantastic vision, esp at night.
Switched to softies in my 20s, doc said I was getting a callus on my cornea.
Got lasered about 5 years ago. It's been fantastic. My right eye is now 20/20, first time I can remember. My left eye he never got it so sharp, due to the cornea being "very thin" he didn't want to go and do it 4 times to get it perfect. He said in the next 10 years, the near sighted leftie will become monovision, built in bifocals
