UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

Just as an update to everyone who has been so kind. When I went back to the Contacts guy, he looked at my right eye and decided that even the new soft perm lens coming in wasnt going to make this problem go away. So I am ordered out of contacts for 10 days and he has ordered a new type of lens. its ...

Thanks so much for the advice and replies. It is helpful to have some hope that things may get better. I went to my opthamologist (cornea specialist) today. He is not involved at all in my contact process. My eyes as usual were sore the past 2 days and when he took a look at them he said they defini...

Thanks so much for the advice. i actually rested the eye for 3 days, it felt fine and on the 4th day i put the lenses back in. Right away it was achy. i wore it for the majority of the day because i was wondering if you have to "break" in the eye again like with RGPs. Meanwhile it made the...

I have been wearing soft perms for about a month and a couple questions. 1. What solution brand do most people use? i am using Aosept Clean and Clear. I think it is working well but it does not have an enzymatic cleaner. Does anyone know of any brand that makes an enzymatic for soft perms. 2. My lef...

As an update, have not worn lenses for 3 days. I wore soft lenses today for 3 hours. When in, it felt fine. Afterwards, the eye is extremely sore and back to where i was before. The whole thing makes no sense to me as before I could wear the soft or RGP for 8-10 hours for no problems the last 6 mont...

Thanks for all the feedback. I wish there was just a simple answer. It possibly could be the solution as the only solution I have ever been able to use is ultra care for soft lenses and Labob for hard and with the soft perms they gave me new solutions although they said they were preservative free (...

I spoke with my dr. today who told me to stop wearing the lens until nexr Monday when the newest softperm on the market arrived. But even after only wearing the lens for a few hours, 2 days later my right eye is just still sore. Is it possible for 1 eye to just become allergic to contacts? I hope th...

Thanks so much for the quick feedback. I wore the lenses for about 3-4 hours today. The odd thing is once they were in my eye the right eye felt fine. Its once I took them out that my eye fees sore, watery and just not right. I am hoping this is not going to be another allergic reaction story that I...

I am a kerataconus suspect for 2 years. My soft toric lenses became intolerable not due to vision but due to an "allergic reaction". One eye after a few days would just get swollen and red and I would be unable to wear a lens. I went into RGP lenses for the past 6 months but i dont see that well and...
