Re: Open area for East Midlanders

Hi Suzanne, i am glad that your graft was successful and that you feel it has benefitted you a lot. I guess I am lucky at the moment that i can wear contact lenses for quite a while and dont suffer much irritation. How come your lens tolerance was so low. was it due to the steepness of your cornea? x

Re: CONTACTS

Do either of you ever get eye redness towards the end of the day when you wear your contacts that long? or are they generally ok? sometimes my eyes tend to feel dry later on in the night.

Re: Open area for East Midlanders

Hi Suzanne, good to hear from you and I hope your graft went ok. I had a few major problems with my eyes a couple years ago where my eyes were constantly red and watering. No dcotor could seem to tell me why this was happening, and I was eventually put on the graft waiting list. However, I was convi...

Re: CONTACTS

thank you. i will try this out. I manage to wear them ok for quite a while, although sometimes my eyes are tired and red, but not often. I have been reading up on different lenses lately and have seen some info on scleral lenses. do many people with KC wear these lenses and are they any good? I have...
