looking for advice!! dreadig the sun coming out!!

Postby estew87 » Sun 05 Apr 2015 8:35 pm

Hiya im 27 and was diagnosed with KC at 16, was managed with glasses and then moved onto lenses, currently have the hard ridge lenses and have had them for 2 years with no major problems apart from having them adjusted every 6monthd or so but this last few weeks I have been suffering with my eyes being very sensitive to the sunlight especially when driving which causes very sore and watery eyes!! I thought they needed adjusted which they did but hasnt done anything im still suffering and now have sore heads and very runny nose when I put my lenses in, was wonder if anyone had same symptoms or offer advice. I'm dreading the summer months if it continues, Thanks in advance :-)

I find polarised sunglasses help a lot, I wear them when driving on all but the darkest of days.
