I want to get overnight correction lenses, but my parents are against all forms of contact lenses because they are super stubborn and ignorant (i didn't get glasses until my eyes were about a -2.0 because they thought i could correct it without glasses -.-). anyways, im really active and just the other day i fell down during track and cracked my glasses.i think genetically, i have bad eyes because as a child, i was always playing outside and i dont go on the computer or read that much, but my eye sight still plummetted and continues to drop.im hearing a lot of good things about the overnight correction lenses and my friend who wears them says that after 2 years of wearing them, her eyes have improved.
anyways, my question is, if i do decide to get them for sure, and i go to my optometrist, would i be able to get them without my parents' permission since im technically a minor? i have the money to pay for it myself, but my friend recalls that her mom signed everything.
i know this is kind of a dumb question, but i'm kind of an oversheltered kid…
i live in canada btw.
thankss
Added (1). I dont want to wait any longer because my eyes are already at a -4.0 and even though i wear glasses 24/7 they're still getting worse.if they gtet any worse, i might not be able to get the correction lenses.
anyways, can you explain why they are rarely prescribed? D: i did some online research, most people seem to have a problem with discomfort while sleeping.i havent come across any serious medical side effect yet
