Hi guys, so 5 years ago I had cataract surgery with no IOL implanted. Lens fitting was challenging post op fast forward and in June I had surgery to implant an IOL.
My first lens fitting in July was for a jack Allen Profile16. This has not been a success vision not great and comfort? Well there is not a ladylike phrase to describe it.
Recently I have been back because of the discomfort and it was identified that it was quite a tight fit.
After one of the longest lens fitting sagas I have ever had, I think we worked our way through the lot I am anticipating the arrival of a Rose K2 XL.
A large amount of time was spent working out the extra parameters to cope with my advanced KC and it quirks.
So here is hoping it all seemed good at the fitting. The proof will be in the pudding as they say.

P.S KC diagnosed about 1964

My father had a cataract surgery on his right eye five years ago, and that too, without Intraocular implants. He was also suffering from Myopia and used to wear contact lenses. The optician at the Eye Clinic in Edmonton ( http://theeye.clinic/contact/ ) asked him to wait for at least a month before starting to wear contact lenses again. It took a few weeks for the vision to stabilize. But, now he has perfect vision

? Not sure that's even slightly relevant to my situation sorry.

I do hope the lens works for you. My right eye has sometimes been a challenge to fit and it can be a roller coaster ride of lens fittings and lenses that don't always work as expected.

I think that this is something that people without KC don't understand. A few years ago when I was having problems friends could not understand why I persisted with RGPs when their optician had prescribed them with some fantastic soft lenses, weren't RGPs old fashioned and surely I couldn't be seeing a specialist if I needed that many appointments. If only things were that simple.

Oh yes that is so true. My Rose K2 XL has arrived. Will be trying it out in the morning.
