>This eye discussion is right up my alley! Mine, too. For the past two months, I've been experimenting with a therapy called Ortho-K. I sleep in corrective hard lenses at night and wear no glasses nor contact lenses in the daytime. This makes it great for paddling. The treatment can work for people who are mildly nearsighted. My slight to moderate astigmatism, though, is proving harder to correct, so the vision isn't as sharp as what I'd get with glasses. Still, I'm hoping to stick with it, as I love not having to wear corrective lenses (contacts or glasses) while paddling. There is apparently big variance in what doctors charge for Ortho-K therapy. If anyone explores this, my advice is to call around and ask about fees.
