Hi Geoff I suffer from the same problem. Without lenses in I get ghosted vision which causes lights to streak in a kind of oval down from the ligh source. This also happens when reading and words seem to overlap each other. I have been trying out contact lenses and with the RGP ones I have I experie...

Thanks for your reply Andrew. You may well be right. I do try to wear the lens as often as possible but this is usually limited to evenings and weekends. I suppose its possible that becaue I can do my job and get by with my glasses and so am not forced to wear the lens that I just have not got used ...

Thank you for yoru replies! Its good to know that Im not the only one with this problem. I guess I was a little shocked as I dont consider my sight to be that bad at the moment and the lack of a reading seemed to imply that the KC was more severe than I had first thought. I suffer from slight ghosti...

Hi I’m new here so please forgive me if this has been asked before. I was diagnosed with having keratoconus last month and the consultant arranged for me to have a corneal topology today. I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with the scanner not reading their KC eye. The scanner read...
