a family friend of mine has a childhood friend who grew up wearing coke-bottle glasses. I remember seeing him with glasses that made his irises look about the size of eggs.

He's a very intelligent fellow and made a fortune in some sort of geophysics invention (too complicated for me to figure out what exactly it does).

Because his eyesight was too bad for laser, and he has oodles of money, he opted for the contact lens implant. I believe he sees pretty much 20/20 now and is climbing Everest and K2 because he can.

Technology is developing in leaps and bounds, hopefully before long there will be a solution for your daughter's sight problems. But in the event they don't, life shouldn't be limited because of her disability. I swim with a lady who's been blind since birth and she's accomplished so much, from competing and winning a bronze medal in paralympics to earning a Master's degree in Social Work.
