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!
I am travelling right now overseas with spotty internet but the only advice I would give to this is to get a second opinion on this. Ask for a Cycloplegic (dilated) refraction and full binocular vision work up.
