Can't seem to fit a proper contact lens
Posted: Tue 19 Apr 2022 1:22 pm
Hi everyone,
I am new here and I would like to ask I question to which I can't find an answer on a normal Google search. I have Keratoconus on both eyes, both with different degrees. On my right eye I have a very poor vision with glasses but I recently got a RGP lens fitted with which I get perfect vision. On my left eye, however, I have a milder Keratoconus and I can see well enough with glasses, but I can't seem to be able to fit a perfect contact lens. My optometrist tried f irst with a soft lens, and I could see very well with it but in the darkness I saw a huge shadow upwards when looking at any light source. Now we are trying with a RGP and again, I see well, but there is a shadow, this time downwards.
Any thoughts? Should I assume that we have just not found a perfect fit for my left eye?
During the day and at work when there is plenty of light this is not a problem but as soon as I go to some darker place or it gets dark outside it starts being very uncomfortable.
Thank you for reading!
