Sclerallens... Any experiences?

Postby Nickysells1 » Wed 22 Aug 2012 8:31 pm

Just been reading up on these a little and wondered
If anyone in the uk has had experience and indeed if
They are available here?

They don't look particularly practical but researching
All options!

Hi Nick
There are quite a few people here who wear scerals and most of them find them really comfortable (after the initial period of getting used to putting them in and getting them out!)
Not all hospitals in the UK offer them, but they're certainly available and can work very well. I'm sure some scleral wearers will be along shortly to tell you their experience.

Thanks Anne

I'm fairly sure that certain options haven't been put to me yet
Possibly such as these and the kerasoft IC lens.
Maybe because of cost, which is a shame because I would gladly
Pay any extra to improve my vision further. It's not bad as it is
But as mentioned in other posts it's getting
Night vision better and reducing 'ghosting' that I am trying to achieve
