Is there a reason your daughter won’t just wear glasses? My daughter (40) and I both aren’t able to wear contact lenses. We’ve both tired many different types and all of them either pose issues with clarity of vision and horribly dry eyes. We were excited years ago when the gas perm lenses came out. But even those would caused issues. Your daughter may be one of these people for whom contacts along, with the solutions used, just don’t agree with her eye health.

Your daughter may also have a condition where her tear ducts aren’t producing enough tears to protect her eyes. Long term dryness can result in permanent damage to the eye so she may need to address that first before continuing with the pursuit of contacts.

Good luck with your search. I’m not sure how to go about it other than maybe contacting the American Board of Optometry:

They may have references and recommendations to elite doctors who specialize in the area which would do the most for your daughter.

Her vision is much worse with glasses, the lenses are so thick they create a fishbowl effect. Her current provider has always said that she can see much better with contacts because of her prescription.
