I know this is long, bare with me, it requires some context.

I was born with a condition called Nystagmus (CN) which affects both of my eyes and Optic Nerve Hypoplasia (ONH) which only affects my right eye. 

Congenital Nystagmus (CN) is where a person has uncontrolled eye movement. Mine is horizontal. Sometimes they are still, other times not so much. With this, i have a moving null point where if i turn my head to the right in varying degrees, the CN tends to calm down a bit. Its hard describe what its like.. When its bad, the best i can describe it as is seeing life through a flip book where as everyone else sees it in 4k.

The ONH, basically my right Optic nerve never fully developed. With lens correction its maybe 20/50 vision.

Because of my Nystagmus, my 15⁰ to 45⁰ moving null point  (right head turn) and astigmatism; it has always been hard to get a decent eyeglass prescription. The reason is the focal length changes between the eye and the eyeglass lens depending on what my null point is at any given moment making things blurry and hard to focus.

I looked into contact lenes which would eliminate the focal length issue, however the level of astigmatism I have is too high for normal contacts. 

Doing some research, i found out about Scleral contact lenes. These are specialized and I only found one opthalmologists in Grand Rapids that is trained in prescribing and fitting them. 

They use a special scanner to measure the topography individuals eye (the Sclera and Cornea) then custom make the lenes accordingly. Because of how they are made, the amount of astigmatism someone has does not matter unlike the common soft contacts.

Since Sclarels are so specialized, they are a bit expensive. Usually insurance will not cover them and I'm not sure if I could justify the cost at the moment. I dont really know how, but they managed to get my health insurance to cover all but $115 of them!! 

I just got them today (the 30th day of October in the year of our Lord 2024). It will probably take a week or so get used to them and for my eyes to adjust. So far, i am extremely pleased with them. It's almost like seeing the world through different eyes.  Praise God and thank you for your prayers.
