Haha, in my family I started getting white hair before my mother did which was right around the age of 12-13. The fact that Irish people can get it pretty early too makes me feel better. :)
I was diagnosed with astigmatism and ended up with toric lenses for a bit. The biggest issue with contacts was really the base curve. My eyes must be oddly shaped in the front as well because I'd always need to ask for tighter lenses if the optometrist doesn't pick up on it. It sucks that you were getting headaches due to overcorrection but at least it's fixed now.
I can't believe your eyes got better with age. My biggest fear is that my eyes will keep getting worse and they're already pretty bad. -6.00/-5.25 x.x
Koji ma Oshi sounds familiar. Is it your original story?
