Thanks a lot for the response. 🙂

And honestly, I’m mostly asking because there isn't a direct link available. Someone just started this rumor online—you know, the "I heard it through the grapevine" type of thing. That’s why I want to dig into it. I haven't stumbled upon anything negative about them yet, aside from people just spreading hearsay... Look, they work fine for me, but I don't want to wake up one morning realizing I've accidentally invited a whole new set of issues into my life...
It’s not like you can just pick these up over the counter here either, so I had to get a little creative 😁 since they’re quite affordable.
Wait, hold on—which ones are you saying aren't primarily intended for contraception? Are we talking Diane or Novynette?

Hi everyone.
I’ve been on Novynette for a year now without any side effects. My cycle is as predictable as a Swiss watch.
Anyway, here is what’s on my mind. I was catching up with a friend the other day who just started taking Yaz. She mentioned they cost her about $10 per pack $24. Meanwhile, my Novynette is only $0.25! 😕 Then you have Diane 35 at $0.35 $17... and the list goes on. I realize there’s a difference in the standard of living between us and elsewhere, so a direct price comparison isn't perfect, but I’m curious: are Novynette much cheaper than other brands where you are? It actually worried me a bit how inexpensive they are, especially since I read somewhere online that they were supposed to be pulled from the market.

So, if anyone has reliable information—say, from a gynecologist, a nurse, or even a close family friend 😁—regarding how good or bad these pills are for your health, please be kind enough to share. 🙂

Just to reiterate, I’ve been using them for a year and they work great for me...

If you're talking about overnight lenses, you only wear those while sleeping. You have normal vision once you wake up in the morning. It’s a cycle that repeats every night...

I actually swapped out a pair about a year ago because they were sticking to my eyes too much—it was causing some serious distortion. For the last month, I’ve been alternating between the old set and the new one, and it turns out the "new" pair is definitely the winner. Usually, your eye doctor covers the cost of switching lenses since their job is to find the perfect fit, though you're on your own if you lose one.

I can't say for sure if my prescription actually dropped. The main perk for me is just having clear vision consistently. You have it with contacts, and you have it without them.🙏 Whether it’s skiing, diving, camping, or riding a motorcycle,😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 I’ve done all of that over the last two years without once thinking about going back to contacts.

And is $3,000$0.00? Honestly, I paid $5,000 and it was worth every cent. I haven't even considered surgery. Then again, my prescription isn't massive—3.25 in one eye and 2.75 in the other. Ultimately, the decision is entirely up to you.🤷 Either way, good luck,🙂 and let us know how it goes.

My doctor recommended Ortho-K about a year ago, but I passed on it. I read too many conflicting things online and didn't know enough people who had actually tried it and vouched for it.
Since you seem more than happy with your results, I have a few questions:

For instance, if you get a standard eight hours of sleep, is your vision sharp from the moment you wake up until the next time you head to bed? Since this is a reversible process, the prescription doesn't actually change; the lens just reshapes the cornea while you wear them, and then everything reverts once you stop. At least, that's what my doctor told me.
What happens if you only get four hours of sleep? When does the clarity start to fade? Also, have you ever had an issue where the lens gets stuck against your eye overnight, or dealt with anything like infections?

I'm considering trying the overnight lenses, and I'd really love to hear about other people's experiences. Every eye is different, of course, but some baseline feedback would be helpful.
