I'm with you in really wanting to protect my eyes (although I still have both).

I don't know what your prescription is. Mine is pretty bad, but not quite as bad as Silver Daughter (mine is more like -7.5). However, unless I wear really big glasses, my field of vision is really impaired if I wear glasses compared to wearing contact lenses. I need to turn my head down all the time (to know what's on my plate when I eat, for example) and nearly trip on stairs many times. Maybe I'm a bit impaired in other ways And glasses that are big enough to cover more of my field of vision are quite heavy, even if they are of the "thin" type.

In fact, sometimes I'd like to wear my glasses - I also find that I look classy and smart in them - but it's not worth the risk (tripping) for me.

I can understand that she'd hope for a solution to her contact problem... (Hopefully the others' advice will help here.)
