I should imagine it's the same with anything in your eye, other than a soft lens. The sports I play/ teach are mainly non-contact, so I guess it is less of a problem. I do get I bit scared when netballs are flying towards me!!

Hi, I teach sport and I have always found my sclerals perfect for sport, as you can look in pretty much any direction without them falling out!! The only problem I had was in the summer as I have a little bit of hayfever which made me feel like something was in my eye (other than the scleral, obviou...

Oh Eddie, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I am so pleased that your vision is improving - this is excellent news and the bit that cheered me up. I have just the most rubbish eyes ever! (I know that's not quite true, but it feels like it) Almost 3 months post op and still as blindo as ever! xx

My optometrist at the hospital was aware of them being made, but said she was waiting for them to be approved. I have an appointment for 6 months time, but she said she would see ...

I went to see my consultant yesterday. He confirmed what my hospital had said, that my eye was a much better shape (less steep) and that he hoped would progress further over the coming months. I didn't realise this but apparantly the intacs are put into a space that is slightly to small and as they ...
