My newest set of soft lenses are amazing. Comfortable (16 hours+) and I can see pretty well. Not quite as crisp as the RGP, but the comfort trade-off is worth it. My overall vision is amazing.
I’ve ordered a few of these lenses ($50 per pair) which are custom crafted for my topography. I’m not wanting to order too many because the shape of my eye will probably change a bit more if sutures come out, etc.
I just went on a 2 week family vacation to CA. Lots of night driving. Not a peep out of my contact lens, and never any pain at all and wore them for 14+ hours daily. We went to Yosemite and at 5000 feet elevation, found a remote field and just went stargazing for a few hours. It was the first time I’d done this since cornea transplant surgery – and it was wonderful. I had my new soft lens in place and each star was a pinprick. Meteors, satellites and more. I imagined my donor out there somewhere. I think we might join a stargazing group in Lexington.
