Yeah, that's a lot of my fear - if I pick something to save money I might as well not do anything, I think, because that's safer and better than hitting that middle ground of "half-fixed but I can't do anything about it" :/
And there's the deciding factor. I'd say go for the implanted contacts, the full nine yards, the sure thing, because this has been something that has been bothering you for quite some time.
And the body is one of the few things the "cheap" option is not acceptable for, IMO.
Whoops, I mean, uh, do what you think works best for you. It sounds like most of you has decided that implantable contact lenses are the way to go, and what's holding you back is worrying you might regret it in some manner, that you might feel stupid for spending that much money on something for your eyes or that you might feel it was too much of a risk/hassle.
It's ultimately your choice, I just get the impression from your LJ entry that you've almost already made it. :P
Plus theoretically you're doing something for when you're 60 anyway. Addressing a vision problem in advance that could get worse with age. Would you keep wearing glasses after getting implantable contacts? If not, then assuming your vision doesn't change too much, the cost of getting new glasses/lenses is absorbed into the cost of implantable contacts.
The only concern to me is that the idea of an implantable sounds so permanent. Like it's impossible to reverse, despite the eye doctor saying it could be. I'm guessing that's another hang-up you have.
