Anyone Have Keratoconus/Wear Scleral Contacts?

[TommyGloves]

I've been dealing with Keratoconus (more info) in my left eye for about 20 years now (for the first 10 years it was misdiagnosed.) Although I cannot see clearly with just my left eye (unless I squint or a rigid contact lens), my right eye has been 20/20 all along. I've managed day to day as if I have normal sight.

Anyway, about 8 years ago I was fitted in ym left eye with a rigid contact lens which helped my overall sight tremendously, but I couldn't wear it driving at night (halos) and overall it was pretty uncomfortable. I finally gave up about 2 years ago.

Currently, the sight in my right eye is changing (likely age) and I want to go back to a specialist. I've been researching Scleral lenses and they might be a good option for my left or both eyes.

Anyway, just wanted to see if anyone else has Keratoconus and find out what has worked/not worked for you. Also, looking for feedback on scleral lens.

Thanks,
TG

I thought this was about another diet trend.

I do not, but after reading about them. I can see how they seem helpful to you.

I have considered RGP lenses in the past over the traditional soft lenses. Mainly because even with the right prescription I cannot approach the clarity of glasses. I went through 3 or revisions of soft lens prescriptions to try and match the quality of vision I got from the glasses but never reached it.

My vision with either contacts or glasses is near perfect.

I'm saving for Lasik right now so I can ditch the contacts. I'm going to pay it entirely out of Health spending so its tax free.
