I think I'd rather stay myopic -- I tried gas-permeable lenses for a couple
of months, but had to stop wearing them because they made my eyes itch something
fierce.  Sort of like a pollen itch, only more so.  They also cost four
times what my most expensive pair of glasses has ever cost me.  I just figured
it wasn't worth the money to pay for the extra aggravation, and even had someone
told me that they might keep my vision from worsening, I would still have given
up on them...
