Re: Dry eyes

Vita-pos is what I used to overcome a real acute bout of blepharitis.

I might try the Thealoz Duo instead of Hyabak next time. Thea make all 3 of these I believe.

Re: overnight intolerance to scleral lens

I have developed an intolerance to my scleral but I never had symptoms like you are describing.

The fact that is clearly linked with lens wear means something is not right though.

Re: Can you help RNIB make a film about keratoconus?

I'd have tentatively put my name forward for this had it been requested a few years ago.

I'm not sure how 'successfully' I can wear my lens now as tolerance levels have reduced significantly in recent years. I'm not sure how positive and enthusiastic I would come across given my current scenario.

Re: Long term scleral use

I had the exact same feelings when I started to wear my sclerals +10 years ago. I was bitterly disappointed with them over the initial weeks/months as I adjusted to life with sclerals. After a while I managed to get 16 hours days, 7 days a week wear which was as much as I could ask for. Putting them...

Re: Scleral lens solution

So similar to a mini-scleral just smaller as it sits on the iris as opposed to the sclera?

Interesting, I've never heard of these and will follow up to see what the advantages are over a scleral or mini-scleral.

Re: Scleral lens solution

I've always used amidose. Have been using it for the last ~12 years. Only in rare special circumstances would I use a standard off the shelf saline solution.

Re: Centre for Sight, London

I was there a year ago or so. I'd very interested to hear what you have to say after the assessment.

I was basically advised to get a graft done on one of my eyes but I've yet to go ahead with it. I had my own reservations. I must go back again at some stage though.

Re: corneas getting thinner what next

What measurement is best used for determining corneal thickness?

It's something I never paid much attention to over the years but I've recently been told that both corneas are extremely thin and to consider a graft.
