Hey everyone.
I'm a 24 year old guy from Iceland and I just got diagnosed with KC last November after going through 3 different pair of glasses over the last year.
At first my optician made me try out a hybrid lens(left eye only atm) with silicone edge(sorry, don't know the names/types of the lenses).
I used them for just under a month but they hurt like hell everyday and I never got used to them, everyday I felt like I had a log in my eye so I went back to the doctors and he got me a new lens which she told me was an older type, it has a blue tint over the plastic middle.
I've been using the new one for about a week now and even though it feels better when I put it in(can't feel the edges like with the other lens) I get a mild burning sensation after a while and when I take the lens out my eye hurts like hell for 10-15 minutes afterwards.
I realize it's a long and painful procedure getting lenses that fit and are comfortable, and after having spent a month in pure pain/frustration I'm starting to believe it.
I haven't been able to do any of my hobbies since early december due to loss of vision and irritation with the lenses and I had planned on going to university to learn computer science next fall but I'm rethinking that atm since I can't spend more than a few minutes in front of a computer screen before getting headaches.
And it reeeaally doesn't help that noone I talk to has even heard of KC, let alone knows what it is..
Hmm.. after reading this post over I realize it might've been better suited to the rant forum, apologies.
