Any new lenses on the market?
Hello guys, I'm struggling with KC for a long time now - one eye is transplanted cornea and other eye is midlle stage keratoconus - both eyes have crosslinking, I tried to use rigid contact lenses to correct my eyesight but they move too much and are too uncomfortable. I also tried hybrid lenses for...

Re: Confused about sun exposure
Hi Shelf, Can you ask your doctor about this below (my doctor is not very experienced so I can't trust him unfortunately): "Some studies indicate an abnormal processing of the superoxide radicals in the keratoconus cornea and an involvement of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of this diseas...

Hard vs Soft contact lenses
Hello all, I have a couple of queries that hope someone might reply to :) 1. Which kind of lenses could cause corneal scarring (I know this is very bad for the cornea)? 2. Can you recommend some special sort of soft lenses for Keratoconus that you're having success with? The more opinions the better!

Re: Confused about sun exposure
Thanks you for the advice. Me personally can see better in bright sunlight conditions and have no light sensitivity despite my keratoconus. When I put sunglasses on most of the time my vision drops a bit so it's not very comfortable. I also use a higher brightness on my monitor as I'm a software dev...
