Hi Lou,
Lots of people who have "normal" vision have the same issue.
Yes "Half eyes" would work well, as would bifocals or varifocals, though I think actually you would probably get on better with bifocals as they can provuide a large stable readibng area.

Re: Hereditary KC
Its an interesting question.... There is definitely a genetic connection, as research is pointing up many genes that have a connection to keratoconus. Additionally, it does tend to cluster in areas which are isolated and have a restricted gene pool. There is new research here that may be of interest...

Re: Prof. Massimo Lombardi and his Mini A.S.R.K. method
It is difficult for us to comment on this procedure as it is not carried out here in the UK. I am also a little unsure about the fungal infection issue. There are studies out there comparing collagen structure between corneas that have had fungal keratitis and keratoconus and they were different. Ce...

Adding to that...
It appears that Gelflex make a variety of lenses - both RGP and soft. Which ones are you enquiring about?

Re: Blurriness
Hello there again... A cornea that is affected by keratoconus is about 60% softer than a normal one. This means if my rub your eye, sleep on it or otherwise cause mechanical stress to it, it will change shape. This causes changes in the surface of the cornea that in turn changes the prescription whi...

Re: Corneal Haze from Cross-linking
Hi James Haze is very common after CXL as it is part of the natural process of the procedure. If you had no haze at all, it would not be working. Obviously you were not expecting this level of blurring and it is impossible to say, via a forum, whether what you are experiencing is normal or not. You ...
