An eye problem, I don't understand...

Postby munster » Sat 14 Apr 2012 2:23 pm

Hi, I'll describe my problem best I can, so please bear with me :)

I have a new Kerasoft lens thats been fitted correctly. I have a spare back up lens which still works.

Yesterday, my new lens has gave me great vision all day long.

Today, with my new lens. My vision is slightly blurry also with ghosting. I have constantly hydrated my eye & lens with drops in case my eye was dry, no difference.

I have now concluded that my lens is naturally resting at approx 45deg anti-clockwise off axis. I can rotate it back again to get clear vision, but 5 mins later its rotated off again.

So I swapped to my older spare lens, and thats behaving the same way, resting 45deg anti-clockwise off axis. I also find that switching to my back up glasses, my vision is blurry.

I can only conclude that something is happening to my eyes, every now and again. It happens frequently, usually the 1st few hours in the morning, or during the evening. Its only occasionally it lasts a whole day.

Has anyone experienced something similar, or have any ideas?

I have just replaced my Kerasoft lenses to experience the same sensation more blurring and halo effect than I have ever had. I am down at Accuvision for a check-up on Tuesday for my Keratoconus post cross linking and then at Gartnavel Wednesday as they prescribe my Kerasoft lenses - I have once had a faulty lens which resulted in poor vision - this may be the case again! I will let you know how I get on

Hi Evelynr28.

I hope you get on ok.

My lens is behaving itself today. I'm going to mention my goings on to the eye consultant. I see him on Thursday.
