Scleral lens an important tool in many 'last resort' scenarios I'm making this topic sticky (so that to stay at the top of this section), as its important to know and also there are not many news articles about the advantages to be had with this lens. http://www.ophthalmologytimes.com/ophthalmolo...
I was dx with KC last Jan but the optometrist wasn't sure if it was progressive or because of th old brand of contacts. I've been wearing the new brand contacts all year but recently noticed my left eye (the one with KC) has repeatedly been annoyed with the contact to the point of blurred vision and pain. I...
I am a KC patient and recently went through 6 visits to try and get fitted for sceleral lens (X-Cel). It has been a long road but my doctor says my residual astigmatism is causing the problem. He contacted the company and they said they have a toric lens but weren’t confident it would work because it rot...

I've been out of the Keratoconus loop for quite some time now and have only just started to again read over the various treatment options for KC. It been interesting to see which of the methods that were showing promise have proven effective and others that have now fallen by the wayside. One huge prob...
Hello all! I've had KC for 10 years now and it has never proven to be much of a problem until now. At first, I was fitted with a hybrid lens which I essentially never wore because I simply did not find it comfortable. I saw a new doctor who immediately put me on piggy-back - and that was answer to all my visu...
Hello all, I'm wondering if anyone with a mild case of KC can answer the question for me. I was diagnosed with KC in May of this year and have since undergone epi-on CXL.

Hi, So I have just received my first pair of lenses (mini scleral rose k2 lenses).

I've had KC for 22 years now, and have been wearing RGPs the whole time. I'm not sure how bad my KC is, but regular glasses are useless (I don't own a pair at the moment), I need to wear RGPs to get my vision corrected. i was part of the 10 year KLEK study, and one thing they found is that my KC has been very sta...
Hi the quest for better vision goes on, I read about flexlens, has anyone tried any flexlens lenses? Sounds really good. I want a little bit more stable lens than a normal soft for my "better" eye, in order to try to reduce glares and halos. Maybe the flexlens toric is good too? http://www.w...
