We've also been using nighttime contacts for 3 years, started at age 12. So much easier than soft contacts or glasses. The only downside is that he is limited to wearing them 9 hours per night. On those rare occasions when he gets to sleep in, he has to wake up to take them out, then go back to bed. Best to do it sooner, before their eyes get really bad.

My son has been correcting his vision this way (with CRT) for over three years. It's been great! It's pricey up front but considering how much glasses cost and how frequently they have to be replaced for a rapidly growing and active boy, it's more than paid for itself. But if you're interested in it, talk to an optometrist -- most general practitioners have never heard of it!

This sounds like an interesting therapy and I would ask our general practitioner about it as well as our eye doctor.
