Is anyone here wearing RGP lenses?

I wanted to trial a hybrid contact lens rather than undergo further laser to my right eye having had a really bad experience - made worse by preservatives in the eye drops OE provided.

However, I was told that my cornea was too steep and oblate (flat) for hybrid lenses and nor was a rigid gas permeable contact lens an option due to a "clash" with the toric intraocular lens in situ!

If hybrid lenses are unsuccessful have you considered scleral lenses? The problem is finding expert practitioners/consultants here in the UK as there is a real gap in the market.

With post refractive eye surgery problems increasing it would be reassuring to know specialist help was available.

I am currently waiting to try hybrid lenses after a consultation at the local NHS hospital who referred me to a nearby complex contact lens specialist optician.

I have tried RGPs and they were grossly uncomfortable. I had fluctuating pain and dryness in my eyes for weeks after trying them only a couple of times and suffered a migraine after the short time they were in for. Despite all of this my vision was really really clear, something it hasn't been for a while now.

I have corneal scarring as a result of a laser procedure and even with correct prescription glasses I can only see clearly for a couple of metres, anything beyond that is fuzzy. I'm really hoping that they work as if they don't my only option to regain better vision is a corneal transplant. My vision still won't be great without them in, but my quality of life compared to right now would be so improved.

However as I am only in my early 30s, the risk of rejection is 40%!

Fingers crossed.

I have emailed a few optometrists to see if they do these lenses so just waiting on a reply back from them! Glad to hear your enhancement went well, l did it help your dry eye?

Pls can I mail you for details?

Thanks
