I am doing research on contacts because I want to get them. I'll be going to the doctor's soon enough, but I want some knowledge before I do. I'm leaning towards RGP, but I'd like some input.
I'm 13 and turning 14 in 6 months. Besides astigmatism, I do not have any serious eye conditions, weak eye muscles, or excessive redness or irritation. I use the computer 2-3 hours a day.
The biggest reason I want RGP is because it CORRECTS VISION. That is a huggeee plus. However, does it improve vision for /all/ eyes, or at least most?
I do know that RGP lenses can be uncomfortable. Just how uncomfortable are they? Do they actually hurt? Are there ones that are more comfortable, and if not, are there drops available that help a lot? I don't mind a small awareness, but I'd prefer them not to hurt.
How much can it cost to get a pair of good RGP lenses?
Any other input on the advantages and disadvantages of RGP lenses from wearers, ex-wearers and eye doctors will be great. :)

By "correcting vision", I mean that it leaves permanent results and heals your eyes. :P
