Well I only wear one scleral lens so cant get it mixed up. Not sure about a fit problem, I always thought sclerals only came in one size. I wonder if anyone else knows. Another problem I seem to have sometimes is when I think I have an air bubble, I ask someone else to check and they cant see one. I...

Hello The most frustrating thing is when air bubbles appear during the day and recently it seems they appear with the slightest touch, I cant even sneeze now without it appearing. I find it really hard to carry on with an air bubble as it just constantly distracts me and have to take it out. Its rea...

Hello I use a scleral lens in one eye. When putting the lens on I always seem to end up with a small bubble and sometimes have to have 2 or 3 attempts before I do which becomes really annoying. Its worse when a bubble appears a little while later and I have to take it out again. This seems to happen...

Thanks alot anyway.

Hello I wear the Scleral lens and use Amidose to fill it up. Does anyone know where I can buy Amidose from, even online would do. Also are there other products that people use instead of this, any good alternatives? I would also like to know what cleaners do people mainly use. I used Boston Advance ...

Hello

Thanks for your quick reply and reassurance. I was quite worried at the time and thought I may even have caused some damage as the whole eyeball moved out. My sister was even encouraging me to go to AE but it seems OK now.

Hello Tonight I was taking out my Scleral contact lenses with those plunger things, it got stuck and it seemed as if my whole eyeball was being pulled out. The lens did come off and my eye went back in place but it did scare me quite a bit. It all seems alright now though. On my last visit at moorfi...
