Lots of responses, thanks to all for your comments
Regarding laser eye surgery - this has been something I have considered for several years, but being young they are often not too keen on the idea until you hit your mid-20s and your eyesight levels out a bit - mine is just getting worse
I need to go in for a new prescription, but lack of money is forcing me to delay it a bit - not ideal I know.
The reason I don't use contacts now is because I sit in front of a PC all day and the contacts irritate my eyes a fair bit. Also, apparently one of my eyes is a slightly odd shape which increases the cost of the lenses as they aren't completely spherical.
For now, I'm going to give a breath deflector a shot - I think I have something around somewhere and I totally didn't consider using it for this purpose. I would normally use it for warmth :P
Punkstig; When did you have your eyes done?
