UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

Okay so there is some days where I just cannot keep the lens in my eye without it tearing or aching and it takes a day or two without the lens in for it to feel comfortable again. Some days I really can't afford to keep the lens out due to work so is there any way to speed up the healing process? Do...

Ok so its been a considerable amount of time since I have made the last thread about red eyes. But I haven't been able to combat it. I have tried almost everything. I always seem to get my red eyes in the evening, regardless of how much sleep I have had, how much water I have drank, how much time I ...

Is there anything I can do to relieve my eyes so I can put my lenses in again? (besides keeping them out)

Ok I am making another thread about these dreaded red eyes! I wear hard contacts. The red eyes make me look absolutely ugly and I almost always get them ONLY when I'm out. Its actually making my life less enjoyable and becoming a real nuisance. I am trying to figure out why I almost always get it ON...

So I put them in before i went out and I STILL got red eyes even though I haven't been wearing them all day!? i use clinitas eye drops aswell :( I'm won...

My eyes get so dry throughout the day, breeze, AC, watching tv, playing xbox, going on the pc, even going outside and looking around gives me dry eyes! I was wondering which eye drops do you recommend to keep my eyes lubed for the whole day? Thanx

does anyone claim disability benefits for having keratoconus?
