Thanks all
Don't worry I won't share your true ages with anyone
The reason I was told piggybacking was not a good option was due to lack of oxygen. Has this been an issue for any of you long term piggybackers or saceral users?
Thanks again

Re: Piggy Backing
Hi Lia I did try a Rose K on its own & was also too sore, but maybe an option if I can piggy back. I agree with you, I only wear my lens to work, so I hope my Dr will agree to let me continue, as I'm not wearing it for a whole day. Also as you say the Tru Eye is great lens with good oxygen readi...

Hi
Have you been to see you Dr yet to check your vision? Hows it feeling now?
I hope its going well for you & that its improved your vision
Unfortunately my KC did not improve, just a slight improvement on my myopia, so i'm now looking into cross linking
Wishing you all the best
