I still think after the advice given to me that the cailms are inflated....

Inflated claims are easy on the net....they should go down the right channels....with evidence to back it up...So where is the evidence?

Like i said I got advice about this...

Lets just say that there are some disturbing facts !

Sajeev,

I am not "claiming" anything here...I am merely describing how I got on with the Kerasoft lens when fitting patients. I have also fitted patients with RGP's, piggy backs, sclerals and soft perms and I ahve commented on these lenses as well when requested.

This thread was instigated by another member of these boards and I responded to that question - to ignore it would have been impolite!!.

I have been quite open about the pros and cons of soft lenses and if you have "disturbing" facts then it would be in the best interests of a free and easy exchange of information to voice your concerns.

Soft lenses for KC and aberration control management are a new evolving technology. In fact the SAM technology can also be applied to RGP's - so this concept is not just a softlens based idea.

As to evidence.. I am not quite sure what you mean? The efficacy of aberration control is at present being investigated by a 2 year study at APU - they are being used as an experiemtall form of myopia prevention - this may well have implications for KC but the scope of the experiment is yet to be fully published.

Documented evidence in the form of varifiable data of what your are "claiming" should be made available through the right channels...instead of someone coming on here...who could be anyone on the net!

The distubing factor is not about the lenses its about the motives used!

I have nothing to hide Sajeev...

Anyone can check up on me by viewing my GOC registration on the website http://www.optical.org/

I post in my own name, my GOC registration number is 01- 9955 and my identity can be confirmed by the GOC. I am also an AOP Councillor and a member of the College of Optometrists, so you are perfectly welcome to check up on my identity and report back here if you find I am a bogus person claiming to be a practitioner.

Please note that this topic is now closed. It has become argumentative rather than constructive and informative.

Please note also that the snellen chart to the left of Lynn's posts and the "Optometrist" tag are there because we know that Lynn is not just "someone off the net". We only make these distinctions when someone is known to us.
John
