waseem See my reply in your othr string:

Welcome to the forum.

You don't tell us where you are, but I am pretty sure that I don't know about the optician whom you name.

There are two things you could do. Take a look at the members area and see if you can find an optician in your area that has been recomended. Failing that you could ask your Ophthalmologist either for a referral to a contact lens clinic in the hospital, or to the high street optometrist that handles hospital cases.

In the event that there is not such a high street optician in your area, and you were prepared to disclose your location, somebody here may be able to give you some advice.

If all that fails, ask the optometrist at the shop you mention if (s)he has experience with KC eyes. If the answer is 'no', ask if (s)he knows who does.

Sorry this is all so vague.

But, well done on finding your way to us. Let us know how you get on.

All the best
