I would much rather have that in a pair of lightweight glasses than contacts. Put the Zoom button on the glasses arm near the temple, and Go-Go Gadget binoculars
I have worn glasses since kindergarten, I don't get why people dislike them so much that they rather shove plastic in to their eyes than wear glasses.
Glasses are fantastic, not only do they correct your vision, they also protect your eyes against rain, wind and dust.
I have keratoconus, so unfortunately glasses aren't an option for me. I have to wear these rigid plastic contact lenses to correct for my corneas which bulge outwards kinda like little cones.
I am sorry to hear that, I made my earlier comment without considering medical issues like this.
I should have been more clear on what I meant, sorry for the confusion.
No worries, just thought I'd provide a viewpoint as someone who has no other option than contact lenses.
Trust me, if I could I would much rather wear glasses, be far more comfortable than using the small plunger I need to use to get my lenses out.
Have you asked for a transplant?
Ah, I'm a Brit, I've been going through this with the NHS and while the eye clinic did mention the cross linking and possible transplant. They were very much of the opinion that it was a measure of last resort and would only consider it if my eyes got drastically worse.
My wife had a crosslink in one eye and she is really happy with it. Except for the first days (pain killers).
