Looking good…

There are many days that I wake up and wish that I didn’t have to pop in my contacts - for some that day has already come.

I was shocked to hear about a new medical procedure - implantable contact lenses. (But the FDA prefers them to be called “implantable collamer lenses,” based on their collagen foundation.)

A tiny lens is inserted through the eye’s natural lens, solving the problem of moderate to high myopia, (nearsightedness). Researchers are pleased with the positive results: After 3 years of having the lenses, WebMD reports that “nearly 59% [of wearers] had 20/20 vision (normal vision) or better, and nearly 95% had at least 20/40 vision (near-normal vision) or better.”

These lil’ wonder-lenses arn’t available yet, but are expected to be approved by the FDA soon based on the positive research results.

Would YOU ever under-go the procedure? What’s best: glasses, contacts, or surgery?
