I have a question for my fiancee who has rapidly deteriorating eyesight.

She has gone from a -2 to a -4 in the last two years (she's 33) and was recommended some contact lenses/glasses that are apparently a brand new technology this year to slow down the deterioration.

Have you heard anything about this? We don't have insurance and haven't priced them out yet but I don't imagine they will be cheap.

My other question is should there be some more follow up? It seems she just goes in every 6 months and they change the prescription, is there anything else we can be doing?

Thanks for this thread!
