Yeah I heard this before actually, as soft as 'soft lenses' are and depending on how conic the eye actually is, the soft lens can still 'mould' or correct the surface of the eye well enough to allow for good sight. In the early days of my KC, especially in my left eye I bought a pair of novelty, len...

view thru my eye

People really do manage KC in many different ways and I've learned some tricks over the 10+ yrs that I had it. Like you it started off in my left eye first and it is weird feeling the bump thru the eyelid but it has never bothered me. I have yet in my life to meet another person with the same condit...
