my vision has gotten worse, and i went to the eye doctor yesterday for a checkup (1st one in 5 years). the glasses i have mess up my depth perception and i have to take them on and off intermittently when i do wear them, which is hardly ever --- but is increasing. i figured that i need a change in my prescription, and i wanna wear contacts if i have to wear something new. turns out that, because i have astigmatism, contact lenses would be much more expensive. my insurance only covers $105 for contacts, and the contacts would be $355 (leaving me to pay $250!!!). it's mostly my right eye that's messed up; my left isn't all that bad, for what that's worth... glasses would be cheaper, the doc said, and he put on some temporary, in-office contraption to show me how they would be to see through, and my depth perception was ridiculously off. he said i'd adjust... anycrap, i don't wanna wear glasses. they're obnoxious and annoying and a pain in the ass and i'm a vain brat ! does anyone here have astigmatism and contacts? any other vision info is also appreciated .
