Re: A TV programme on KC

This sounds great. I don't think I'm the ideal candidate as I've only been living with the condition for just over a year... good luck to anyone who applies though.

Look forward to seeing it, shame I don't have Sky but hopefully I'll find a way.

Re: Which lenses ?????

Hi Paul Unfortunately that left me with some astigmatism so soft lenses aren't any good now :(. I get very good results with glasses 20/10 on a good day. They also fitted me with a RGP. Vision is out of this world but after 5 or 6 hours I have had enough so take it out. Not a drama as I can go back...

Re: Advice for contact lenses pricing please...

I wonder if it's anything related to you being post-graft? Most YouTube videos I've seen from Kerasoft are more related to your use case than mine. Whilst I'm at it I'd like to chuck another question in the mix. It seems that most people with hybrids/RGPs can't get a whole day out of them... can you...

Re: Advice for contact lenses pricing please...

The thing is my (now-previous) optometrist told me that my vision would be almost as good as my glasses with Kerasoft. He said I'd never get rid of the shadowing/double vision without a hybrid or RGP lens to correct it. Also, in my right eye he said the prescription was almost perfect, I had 20/20 v...

Re: Advice for contact lenses pricing please...

Well I did get a call back and they've managed to sort something out for me! As long as I can cancel my Kerasoft I can go with the NHS for cheaper... brilliant. But I do have another question. After trying Kerasoft I can tell my shadowing etc. isn't going to be any better than my glasses. I'm wonder...

Re: Advice for contact lenses pricing please...

£30 per time fitting, I've had two already... one or two more to go he reckons. I'll only have to pay for the actual lenses once, one hopes!

I asked about a referral and just got blank looks :roll: hopefully I will hear back from them but I won't hold my breath, they are pretty useless.

Advice for contact lenses pricing please...

Hi I'll start at the beginning! A few months ago I had an appointment at my hospital for keratoconus diagnoses and a scan to see if I'm eligible for CXL. At the time I was just wearing glasses, but I found driving and watching TV hard so inquired about contacts. I was told to see my regular optician...

Re: Advice

Wow, the bottom line lol... I'd love to be able to see that again. How far can you see with just your left eye? Can I ask, what lens are you wearing atm? If it's a hybrid or RGP you could try a soft lens perhaps Kerasoft or such in the left eye? I'm afraid I don't know much about them as I'm to pick...

Re: Kerasoft cl

Thanks. I had my initial fitting a little later than expected, just last Wednesday. It was my first time having contacts in... after half an hour I could still feel them, but they weren't painful, I guess the 'conscious' feeling of them will eventually dissipate? It's unfortunate that I could alread...
