Dolfan, it seems like you had a blast and I guess your father was really happy and surprised. The pictures are really good.

Taryn, did you try toric lenses (they say that they cover up to 2 diopters astigmatism plus 8 diopters myopia or 6 diopters hyperopia and they are soft lenses)? I can't wear contacts - I just can't remove them from my eyes. The last time I tried, I had to go the hospital to make them go away and well it wasn't good experience. I want to learn to wear them, but I will need to take at least month away from work. Plus I don't want to wear them constantly - only when I'm out (pubs and bars mostly). At work I prefer glasses, because I wear specific ones for protection from PCs. And since I wear my glasses constantly, I have also good UV protection and contacts can't give me that either.

The lenses are better for peripheral eyesight though. I have problems with this - I practically can't use it since it's not in good shape.
