lost mini scleral!!!!!!!

Postby jamesar » Wed 02 Apr 2008 9:57 am

Howdy folks. I just lost my mini scleral lens! I feel like such a dumb ass, as i have only had it for 2 weeks :( It didnt really work that well though, bad fit and burned my eye. Anyways does anybody know if there is a grace period :) on ordering a new lens, like maybe halving the cost or something similar. That lens cost me 450 bucks and I cannot afford to take that hit again as I am a poor uni student. I am in a jam. I have never lost a lens before, not my corneal lenses and then I lose my damn scleral lens worth double the cost, can't believe it. I think I lose stuff alot more when i cannot see properly. I feel dizzy and tired without corrected vision. Anyway I will keep searching the house, neighbourhood, city for it. I looked in some strange places too, ahah, like the freezer, fridge, microwave, just hoping that divine intervention will place it there.

I am afraid that the UK may be different to Australia. Still, being without a mini scleral may give you an opportunity to try something else (perhaps a scleral?) Tell your optometrist about the trouble you were having before the lens got lost.

All the best
