UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

hi, im just new to this site and would like to hear from other KC sufferers if there are any advancements in contact lenses as i cannot wear the hard lens as it keeps moving about . i suffer KC in my right eye and being a hgv driver i had my licence taken off me after a medical at 45 i eventually got it back after 6 months when prescribed a hard lens but it is more dangerous to wear as it keeps moving about. i will be having another medical at 50 14 months from now and i dont think i will pass this time any info much appreciated

Hi Wallie and welcome to the forum,
There are several different types of lenses these days which you might find better. There are special soft lenses for KC such as Kerasoft, there are hybrid lenses (hard middle, soft edges) such as Synergeyes, semi scleral and scleral lenses. And a larger diameter rigid lens might do the trick too. If you e-mail anne@keratoconus-group.org.uk I can send you an article that appeared in one of our newsletters a couple of years ago, which went into the different lenses in more detail.
All the best
Anne
