Taking a shot in the dark and asking on this sub because FDS has been such a wonderful community and maybe someone here can offer better advice than I've found elsewhere.

I've been dealing with GPC (look up pics if you want, but be warned it's pretty scary looking in my opinion)and have an an uncomfortable allergic reaction to my contacts for a year with no success. I feel frustrated, hopeless, and stressed. Contacts aren't just for aesthetic purposes, I play sports and it's hard for me to play with glasses. Lasik is out of the question due to the nature of my eyes.

Things I've tried with no avail:

-switched brands 3 times

-have taken a lengthy time off from lenses

-steroid drops (not safe for long term use)

Please friends, if anyone has any advice- for brands that have worked for them, ANYTHING. Please let me know, I'm really struggling. Even now, my eyes are irritated and there's a pang of pain everytime I blink- just from my 15 minutes of contact use 2 days ago. I am so freaking frustrated and I don't want to be shackled to my glasses for the rest of my life. Contacts gave me so much freedom. Maybe this sounds silly to some, but like I said, with sports and exercising being a part of my daily life, wearing glasses has been such a nuisance. Hope you guys understand, no hate please, it's pretty painful and uncomfortable. And for me personally, contacts have improved my life a lot.
