hello,
well, i´m a 30 year old lawyer and I was diagnosed with KC 2 years ago. Fortunately I can see really well with my rigid gas permeable contact lenses. My vision is 20/20 with them on. Without them I can still see especially with my right eye. My left eye is worse. I was reading only about 1 out of 1,800 people have KC....hmm aren´t we special ?? take care....

Greetings,
KC its one of the few clubs you you are not invited to join ha ha, but you discover your membership later on.
I was diagnosed when I was about 20. I discovered I could not see the lecture board after moving from the back of the lecture hall, to the front and thought something must be up.
Laughing aside this is the place to visit for good info.

Bull,
Welcome to the party. I too only have KC in my left eye and can see pretty well out of my right. However as of late my vision (or something) has gotten worse. And the strain on my facial features is killing me. My eye doc is having problems fitting me with a RGP lens. She keeps telling me that my KC is not bad but yet she cant find the right RGP either....Anyway... Welcome

welcome to the forum, yes my rose K type lens did take a while to get right but was worth the wait for comfort. at one point i was changing lens every 2 months as eyes both went through a rollercoaster ride :up and down:

Me too.
Oh and welcome Bull.
However as an Aussie, you realise with a name like Bull I am going to find it reall hard to believe anything you say. All I will think is "Bull" lol.
Sorry lots of driving today had to take the daughter to an opthalmolgist appt and it is 3.5 hours driving each way. My head is mush
regards Prue
