hi, i have a kerasoft3 lens in my left eye. it's been ok - just have to be careful not to over wear it. so far its been comfortable. i'm not that happy with the vision though. i've only ever had hard lenses before now so i can't really compare it to other soft lenses or sclerals. best wishes, tim

hi andrew, yeh it seems that way, new treatments you read about never turn out to be 'the cure' you hoped they would be. anyway, on the positive it seems like cxl is quite straightforward and cheap, and the reports on it are v encouraging, so i hope it gets cleared on the nhs soon so more people can...
