Hello all,
I need your help.
I am actually using rigid lens to correct my vision. Since two weeks now can't support the lenses on my left eye.
Do you think that it will be best now choosing for me opting for a Rose K lens.
Anyone that experience it before can share it with me.
Thanks
Kurt

Re: Rose k lens vs rigid lens
Hello Kurt and welcome to the forum.
These days there are a number of different contact lenses to choose from for KC - the Rose K lenses that you mention but also special soft lenses (eg Kerasoft), hybrid lenses which have a hard centre and soft skirt, the various scleral and mini scleral lenses and piggy backing (wearing a soft lens underneath a hard one). If you've become intolerant of the ordinary corneal rgp lenses, you need to go back to your contact lens practitioner and see which of these options will work best for you. We're all different, so a lens that works well for one person doesn't necessarily work for someone else!
Good luck
Anne
