Kerasoft IC right for me ?

[IvanKC]

Hey guys,

I had keratoconus until 2013 when I had Intralase enabled karatoplasty of the left eye and cross linking and intacs of the right. The surgeries have been extremely successful, with close to 0 D asstigmatism in the transplanted eye, vision is between 20:40 and 20:30 with regular pair of eye glasses and vision in the right eye is 20:25 - 20:30 with glasses. A few days ago during a routine eye check I noticed that if I bring my glasses very very close to the eyes, my vision in the left transplanted eye becomes better than 20:20 ( the vision in the right eye remains unchanged). That got me thinking that if I move from eye glasses to soft lenses, I could see 20:20 or better.

So, I was wondering whether the Kerasoft IC would be the right ones for me. I have never used lenses after the transplant and I am not sure how the eye would react to it. I had extreme intolerance to rigid lens and for this reason I decided to procede with the transplant.

Many thanks and kind regards,

Ivan

Hi Ivan and welcome to the forum,
It's great that you've had such good results from surgery.
Kerasoft IC might well work for you, but the only way you can find out is by trying them! They certainly are used post surgery and you might find them easier to tolerate than rigid lenses. But as with everything to do with KC, a solution for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. Good luck!
