Perhaps there is no point in being able to measure or even understand your symptoms. And I'd like to jump up and say I agree with your agreement with Matthew Gareth - to an extent. :wink: That's pretty much what I assumed as their reason was in the previous post. But much as it pains me to agree wi...

Gareth, I think you have misunderstood. As far as I’m aware no one is suggesting that all cases of KC are caused by the wearing of contact lenses. That would be nonsense. But you seem to be assuming that the symptoms of KC can only have a single cause. Why? In most cases, KC is first found in t...

Don't worry, as you get used to it you should find you learn to anticipate a lens popping out so it's less likely to happen. You'll learn the wondrous knack of catching a lens with your eyelids as springs out. It's a pity that being able to reverse on mirrors isn't part of the test because most driv...

It seems that others including the School of Optometry at Indiana University and very many others in the US would disagree with whatever unspecified epidemiology you are referring to Andrew. I would love to hear from the person who claims he knows all the causes of KC. As I said before, there is as ...

Seems to be generally accepted in the US that the use of contact lenses can lead to KC but there seems to be a total reluctance in the UK even to consider it as one possible cause for some reason. That approach doesn't seem good science to me. I got a car at 17 and immediately bought a pair of hard ...
