Thank you to everyone for the responses. I will ask the eye doctor
about rigid gas perms... i've heard good things about them. Yea, i
guess it is difficult to really know what to do, but after 3 months
(especially with the distance involved), we are really getting anxious
to get this done.

I had at least 15 approintments spanning a year, and I still have only
one pair of 3-month lenses (out of 5 pair) that I actually find
wearable. 3 months is NOTHING!

Dear Bev (and I mean that!),

Someone has to be in the 10-15% of potential contact lens wearers that
just don't work out so well, or not at all. Someone. It's a numbers
game.

I do so wish you could be in the much larger subgroup of delighted
wearers! And perhaps one day soon the right combo of design and material
will find it's way onto your deserving eyes.

And to the original poster: trust me on this: it's also a disappointment
for us practitioners when we can't please you folks quickly and
conveniently. We try. It's in our best interests to get it right ASAP,
you know.

LB, O.D.
(still waiting for MY perfect lens, BTW. I hear it may be out in two
weeks! Of course I've heard that before ;-(
