Face blindness

I’m 13, and have incredibly severe astigmatism. Due to technology, my glasses aren’t that thick, but I don’t think my face was made for glasses. I look positively terrible with my glasses, and hate to wear them. I have contacts, but they hurt unbelievably bad, because my prescription is bad and they are thick, so they are extremely uncomfortable. I can’t see wiith them either. My parents will not let me get surgery, because of the chance of blindness. I can see without my glasses, but it requires focusing my eyes which makes me go cross-eyed and if I do it for too long it hurts. Also, I can’t read this way.

Any suggestions? I’ve tried to just wear my glasses when I read, but it’s easier just to wear them all the time. And don’t tell me to get different glasses, that’s not an option.
