Thanks to genetics i have Myopia (short-sightedness) and for a while now i have worn contact lenses which have been great but the sort i have been using have a limited time span where they need to be taken out after say 10-12 hours to remain comfortable. This creates the problem where i push the longevity of a set of contact lenses {2-3 week life span} and the welfare of my eyes by extending there use by observing in the evenings after wearing them all day .Thankfully my Mum works as a optician dispenser so i have managed to trail a new type of contact lens {there have always been a number of types} that can be been worn for greater time periods . So far they have been great , no symptoms of discomfort at all , so if you wear glasses or even have contacts have a talk to a optician and check out the options {i think medicare covers a 3month batch of contacts once per year}.While i was in seeing my optician i asked about laser eye surgery and its potential side affects , he said problems can arise it the points of contact between treated parts of the cornea and parts not operated on , this can intoduce various abberations like flaring/coma/light sensitvity , It was pretty interesting .
