I use and have been using Kerasoft lenses since November last year. And while it's right to say that they won't work for everyone, for me they have been an absolute revelation! I love them; easy to wear and care for. I can't begin to tell you how comfortable they are, sometimes i forget that I have ...

KC paiients need to wear their contacts for super long times and can't switch to glasses like a "normal" soft contact lens wearer. No one is forcing us to wear lenses for super long times. Most people I know that wear soft lenses for vanity wear lenses for 16 hours, more than I could ever...

Pepe, The K3 lenses are three monthly disposable lenses. It's £150 inclusive of VAT, though I'm hoping witht he reduction of VAT recently by HMG they will come in a little cheaper when I pick up my next lens in Feb I can't make any comment on other lenses, simply because apart from trying RGP lenses...

Didn't realise that I had started a thread which had brought such differing opinons about the use of Kerasfot3 lenses over RGP lenses. I've had my lesnes for about 3 weeks now, so felt it was time to give a more rounded update on how they are working for me. Well, I work in front of a PC screen all ...

Well, Iv'e posted a couple of threads over the pas few months about the issues I've had with RGP lenses and how I couldnt tolerate them. Today I got my Kerasoft lenses. And. Oh. My. God. How great they are. Got them in with ease, weel the right one is a Kerasoft lens, the left is a "normal"...

Well it's been a while and have given up on the RGP lenses at least for the short term. Have been fitted for kerasoft 3 Lenses which, have worked a charm for me. Can get them in and out with ease. And there is no, or at least a mimimum, of the sensation that there is a lens in my eye. So whats the v...

Thanks for the replies.......... I'm not sure that it is now just a case of gettigng used to them. My eyes, will just close complelety after about 10 minutes trying to get them in. Thats before I can even think about trying to get them into place. And yes thay are soooooooo painful, that when on the...

I recenly posted a thread about not being able to work with my contact lenses. It's been 3 months now of weekly teach lesson's and I'm still no nearer in getting them in my eye, let alone getting them to sit on my cornea!! Had another teach yesterday (Sat) and after a couple of attempts my eyes just...

Hi, Just wanted to say thanks for all the helpful replies. I knwo it's not the most major thing that you could ever be diagnosed with and for a while I thought it was just me. BUt having read your replies and other threads here that is no longer the case. Thank you. I've got another appointment this...

Hi all, I've just been diagnosed with KC, so still not entirely sure what to expect both in the short and long term. But am so glad I found this forum!!! I noted another thread about not using the 'net to "symptom serach" and how true is that!!! Decided that I should try contact lenses. We...
