yonuh Member Registered: 06/14/06 Posts: 2447 Loc: Arizona	NewLeaf, the cost for the lenses depends on whether you do monovision or bifocal. My insurance doesn't cover the whole cost, but I get a yearly 'allowance' for contacts, so they used that. The rest came out of my pocket. It cost me about half of what Lasik would have cost. I'm sure the cost varies by region or even by doctor. I thought about this long and hard, but the deciding factor for me was the fact that I could actually come home from work and take a nap if I wanted without having to take out my contacts and switch to glasses afterwards.

I'm definitely going to look into the lens treatment as I have monovision. That would be the answer to prayer for me. I hate wearing cheaters.

yonuh Member Registered: 06/14/06 Posts: 2447 Loc: Arizona	The way I understand it, the lenses change the shape of the eye, so that the refraction is changed. Which is why it takes a while to reach optimum and isn't permanent. My eyesight is improving daily. The effects sort of wear off towards the end of the day right now, but I'm noticing that it's taking longer to wear off. _________________________ Well-behaved women rarely make history. - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich http://ruthrainwater.wordpress.com/ http://newbeginningsgratitudejournal.wordpress.com/ http://sablewings.wordpress.com/

NewLeaf Member Registered: 12/26/05 Posts: 1066 Loc: Deland, Florida	I'll bet wearing the hard surfaced lens and the eyeball being mostly liquid or gel..forms to fit the shape of the lens overnight then goes back to its original form during the day..just a guess. _________________________ Aarikja Ann
