YOOOO! I have keratoconus too. Waiting for rgp's...BTW, was it uncomfortable for you when they put it on for test? I cried river for 10 minutes. Any tips for controlling that?
@@plomerius8394 it was not that bad for me honestly, but it is certainly uncomfortable in the beginning. I wear hybrid lenses now. Much more comfortable.
I wasted alot of time and money seeing about 4 eye doc's and only the 5th eye doc for them bang on. Alot of eye doc's just aren't well versed fitting rgp lenses.
I had semi-rigid GP contacts back in 1990 and they were very uncomfortable. I only wore them for about 6 months. I hope 30 years later, they have improved significantly, because I’m thinking about GP contacts again. I have a lot of astigmatism in both eyes, hence GP contacts. How do you find an optometrist who really knows this stuff? I saw another video where it said contact points should be around the circumference and lightly in the center. Oh boy......
Agreed.i saw three eye doc's that fit them too tight and loose.Then the 4th eye doc nailed it.That was 15yrs ago.When dry eyes ensued after wearing soft lenses for years,i needed to upgrade to rgp lenses. Spent lots of frustration of time and money in the beginning to have rgp lenses that didn't fit right, it was so dissatisfying. True most eye doc's just aren't well versed in fitting this modality. 2yrs ago got another update to multifocal rgp lenses as presbyopia ensued, now currently on my second upgrade as my near power has increased. My multifocal RGP lenses fit amazing and are super comfortable. I wear BOSTON XO2 w/ Blanchard Essentials I/II multifocal design and works tremendously well for my visual needs. I have dry sensitive eyes and wear them in perfect comfort everyday.
The latest rgp materials are ultra permeable and super comfortable, well fitting rgp lenses become super comfortable within about 15-20min on eye. Proper fit is essential in the long-term comfort of rgp lenses. I have dry sensitive eyes and I wear them everyday in perfect comfort.
