Yeah, I know... there I was, thinking that I would have perfect vision for life, at least until I was 19. I think I read too many books/stared at too many computer screens in my teens. Oh well. My eyesight went from -2.25 to -3.00 within the last 6-12 months before my most recent exam, which is nuts. I also have an astigmatism in one eye, but instead of writing me up for the fancy lenses to correct it, he gave me a prescription that was in between my two eyes' needs (if that makes sense)--so I have the same prescription for both eyes, and they compensate for each other. It's nice to not have to worry about mixing up the lenses, too.
I actually don't mind contact lenses at all... I started wearing those full-time in summer 2006, and while the brand I had for the first year were horrible (I've blocked the brand name from my memory)--I got a new eye doctor for my next exam, and he put me on a more expensive, but OH SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE brand--Acuvue Oasys. And I haven't had any problems with contact irritation since then... definitely worth the extra bucks (and I get them in bulk at Costco anyway, so it's cheaper than usual).
Sure, the cleaning process at night can be a tad annoying, but it really only takes about 3 minutes to go through it. And I actually feel pretty sexy in glasses, so I don't mind having those, either.
