UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

Form you posts while you was in RGPs you never said you had this much trouble with them and that everything was ok. So when you try another contact lens you may like them more than the Kerasofts you have now. What are the cost comparisons ? in the price to buy RGPs and Kerasofts ? and how they compa...
