UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

HI, I'd like to ask a couple of questions. Has anybody tried Kerasoft 3 lenses? As i'm lookig into this option, because in the last year I have undergone CXL in both eyes. Although the left eye is doing well with rgp's the right eye (which has a steeper cone) has developed scarring, which is moving towards my line of vision, due to the rgp lenses. I understand Kerasoft 3 lenses are a good option, has anybpdy had any experience with them? Another question I'd like to ask is once im nineteen do I have to pay for my lenses, or does the NHS fund my lens requirements? I'd appreciate any information about these two topics,
thanks.

I've been wearng the Kerasoft 3 lens in my right eye for six months now and the Kerasoft IC lens ni my left eye for a month and they have all the comfort of a soft lens and the ssame clarity of vision as RGP's.

We are all different so no guarentees that everyone gets the same.

What we have found though is that although my RGP's were an excellent fit they had moulded the cornea slightly and as such my corneas have taken six months to settle and both are now flatter than they were with RGP's.

If you are in full time education I don't think you pay for lenses, but when you are at the paying stage it is just over £50 per lens and it should cover you for any prescription changes during the following 12 months.

Regards

Gareth
