Ho ho. Been there, done that! Woken up a few times with one lens in and the other ... well - could be anywhere. Hey, I even managed to put both contact lenses in the SAME eye one (the morning after the night before...). That was pretty trippy. Oh, I once spent 30 minutes trying to take a lens out that wasn't actually there. Ouch. That's the thing with GP lenses - they are very small and can shift position and end up right at the top of your eyeball. At least soft lenses cover most of the front of the eyeball - makes them less prone to slippage in my experience.

Yes, I would say that -8 is around the point where they may not be able to correct it all. My wife was around a -6 and they told her there was a possibility that she would not be bale to get away without any glasses. Today she lives very well and darn near 20/20 in both eyes and loves it.

I had Lasik done on both eyes 5 years ago. I was extremely near-sighted (-8.75, -9), with astigmatisms in both eyes. Less than 24 hours after the procedure, I was tested at 20/15 in one eye, 20/20+ in the other. My vision is still 20/20 5 years later.

Yikes! Really? Wow. I might have to take the plunge. Hey, I can even pay for the operation by interest free credit...

wasn't the survey only asking for "eyesight damages caused by watching a computer screen all the day ??"
let me wonder on the fact that you were - even playing - sitted in front of an old atari/amstrad the whole day since the age of 3...

"How is sitting in front of a screen all day treating you?"
I think that includes both television and the ZX Spectrum I was glued to for most of my teens...

similar situation... since I was 5 - so about 20 years now. For a couple of years I wore soft lenses but now I find they irritate my eyes so I just wear them when I need to.
i'm seriously considering surgery tho. Looking at the other posts looks like most have great result.

My eyesight started to fail after I'd started my first full time job as a developer. Whether it was the prolonged exposure to working with old fashioned VDU's, I'm not sure.
Back then I only needed them for driving, but I wore them always because I kept forgetting them.
