Hello and welcome to the forum. I've moved your post to the general discussion forum where more people will see it. What sort of lenses did you have? There's several different lenses that can be used for KC, including hybrid lenses, puggy backing (wearing a soft lens underneath a hard lens) and the various sizes of scleral lenses. Did you try any of those? Is your KC still being monitored at a hospital clinic? If so, do ask about these options. And if you're no longer being seen in clinic, it would be worth asking your GP to refer you again.
