Yes Sireee.. I had one right in the centre lol....and if memory recalls correctly, it was when it fell from the ledge to the floor........although it was very small...and didnt actually interfer with my vision THAT much...enough for me to use till I saw Ken again....in fact on anotehr occasion I didnt even know I had a crack in the lens till Ken told me after seeing the lens in my eye!
KC is about facing the challenges it creates rather than accepting the problems it generates -

Well I guess you both win the biscuit for being the least fortunate scleral wearers in the country.

This is rotten luck. all the best with the replacement.

Biscuits all round. I had always imagined sclerals must be indestructable.

WRONG!
