Very interesting. I seem to remember reading about those nighttime CLs sometime in the past.
CL implants (ICL) are reversible which means they can be upgraded to whatever the next best technology is when it comes around, but expensive up front, and still surgery.
I do get leery of eye surgery. I'm not sure if I'm ready to take the plunge.
They did tell me that not every woman who has LASIK pre-pregnancy has major vision change but it's definitely a big possibility and should be considered. If you do it then make sure your retreatment guarantee doesn't have a pregnancy exclusion clause.
Good luck! btw, some glasses are sexy...mine are red/gold frames that I get compliments on all the time.

hey madona, I'm in a similar boat (glasses since 3rd grade, contacts since 9th) but I don't seem to ahve the irritation...but my eyes are chronically red! Sooo not cute. I appreciate your vanity issues, my glasses were HORRIBLE think junior from the sopranos, but wirth "tortious shell brown)
Not so cute. I also had horrible pink plastic frams because my mom said it brought out the pink in my lips, same size glasses though! Needless to say even once I got contacts I had pinkeye one summer and decided to wear one contact for a week!
I had NO idea about the pregancny thing though. Great, yet another thing I have to think abuot (29 yo, no Bf or kids). I do know of a company in the DC metro area that gives lifetime "tuneups" so that could be an option I guess. I just though it would be best to do it now before shcool...I'll spend just as much $ on glasses, Rx sunglasses and contacts/sol'n by then anyway. Kinda bummed about the pregancy thing!
I'd take permanent contacts though...whatever would work. hey my Dr. said there's some "reverse contact" (my termanology I don't remember what she called it). Anyway it's a contact you sleep in which changes/corrects the shape of the eye while you sleep so you take them out in the morning and have clear vision. You have to do this nightly because it's temporary which means the longer with out a "re-up" (Wire-speak) the less clear things are. Try looking into that!
