“I am extremely nearsighted and
I require thick eyeglasses.”
Similar to what had happened to me in my childhood, Emily had been wearing glasses since second or third grade, and her vision continued to deteriorate with each check-up. I am extremely nearsighted and I require thick eyeglasses. My husband and I did not want Emily's vision to grow worse throughout her teen and early adult years.
We decided to try corneal reshaping lenses and at first Emily had a difficult time adjusting to the rigid lenses. She felt they were uncomfortable and irritated her eyes. With great support and encouragement Emily persevered and adjusted to wearing the lenses in a couple of weeks.
We are so glad that she did! Emily is now in high school and an A student who takes her schoolwork very seriously. Her lenses have allowed her to maintain her vision, and to not worry about lenses during school or after school activities. We are grateful that we learned about corneal reshaping while Emily was still fairly young and her vision loss had not progressed too far. I recommend the lenses to other parents whose children are experiencing rapid changes in their vision.
