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
Mandy
