Hi, I am an italian. I would test kerasoft lenses, does anyone know where I can buy kerasoft on line? Many thanks

Welcome to the forum.

I wonder about the wisdom of buying contact lenses online? I'd have thought that the skill of the contact lens fitter was imperative, especially where the 'fit' is challenging.

Well this is strange because I posted about this but the post seems to have disappeared!

You are completely right. There is no actual way you could buy any keratoconic lenses online, as they need specialised fitting. Even if you just wanted to buy a replacement, it would be essential to have a check up first, to make sure everything was OK. I think the only lens type you could sensibly buy online would be a soft lens for piggy backing purposes and only that if you have an up to date prescription for it.

I have heard people say they can get such lenses online without a prescription. This is actually against the law in this country. Online lenses should only be supplied against a current prescription from a registered optician.

So to answer Giupol's query, no you can't buy KeraSoft online!!!

(I have emailed you with details of the Italian distributor)

Tthe question was raised in two strings. I saw your response in the other string (it is still there, and has not vanished) after I had posted mine in this one! if I were a really clever Moderator I'd know how to bring all things together, but actually the question that giopul asked did fit in the other string, and also warranted his decision to raise it in a string of his own.
