Playing sports

Postby Lahiru » Mon 02 May 2005 2:48 pm

Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to play sports, i.e football, kickboxing when you have KC? I was wondering if you wear the lenses do they come out?
Sorry, I know it sounds like a stupid question.

Hi

Yes it is ok playing sports..the only thing that may stop you is the lens popping out...but then if you wear the like of Sclerals thats virtually impossible....

I have played all sports since being diagnosed...from football, basketball, cricket, golf etc......only slight concern may be bodybuilding where you may apply alot of pressure to the eye when lifting weights...but again if the lenses are prperly fit than that also shouldnt be a problem..........plus of course in some sports you may need good vision in the first place
