I guess I"m just stuck paying these high prices.
I couldn't wear contacts once I needed bifocals or else I would have had the constant need for reading glasses. But a couple of years ago, the eye doc recommended "multi-focal" lenses, which give me both the distance and reading corrections I need. Almost like having my old eyes back. If that's your problem, you may want to check them out.
My wife had lasik also (or something like it - I think it was called PRK), and while it's fixed her distance vision (she was much worse than me), she can't read anything, and we have 30 pairs of reading glasses strewn all over the house and cars.
I have some bump on the whilte of my eye that I can't remember the name of. It's common, caused by sun exposure, and completely benign. But your lens won't fit on your eye right and it will irritate the bejesus out of them.
Is it an astigmatism? If so they make lenses for those as well. Now I'm not sure if they have contacts for both problems.

It's called pinguecula. You can barely see it even if you really look closely, but it's enough to not make a contact lens fit properly on the eye.
