Too much!

I think you may be right there. My eyes were really light sensitive in the swimming pool but i think the chlorine made matters a lot worse.
This doesn't apply to my washing! it must just be that my whites are whiter than white

Thank you everyone for your handy tips.

I have invested in a pair of sunglasses. My vanity got the better of me, and I bought a huge pair of sun glasses....very blinging! I've been told at work that I'm looking like a celebrity! So I guess KC has an upside:) So you see Andrew, big sunglasses are very in!

I am still getting headaches but my eyes or should I say my brain seems to have adjusted a bit more. I've had my lenses for 2.5 weeks and I can wear them for about 11 hours at the moment. At first I found that when I put my lenses in, I could see so much detail, the pores in people's skin, each and every hair on their arms....it was quite a shock. I've now begun to get use to this.

I have also found that using eye drops has made a difference as I work in an air conditioned building, spend most of my day staring at a PC and I felt my eyes were drying up pretty quickly. I was recommended "Blink" eye drops but I have a feeling I will be getting through a box of them quite quickly!

I am still getting over the shock of being diagnosed with KC and coming to terms with what that means. I have to say, I really appreciate everyones support here....this really is a community of its own and I am a frequent visitor to this site.
Thank you

Its all trial and error with KC and what ever suits your own personal set of issuies do it. if I could count the times someone has asked me why I have sunglasses on inside, I would surely be at a million by now.

Gareth is right. You just have to think first about your sight and then worry about what other people will think.

Better to look celebrity rather than Maffia

Think at the Confrence last year it was more the Mafia look.
