You'll find some optometrists who are happy to see people with KC on our list www.keratoconus-group.org.uk/optoms.index.php
Though most of us get our lenses through a hospital eye clinic - that way they come at NHS prices which are a bit cheaper than the high street. And hospitals in the big cities often have their own contact lens department with a choice of different lens types and optometrists with a lot of experience of KC.
