- Meet Rick, an advanced Keratoconus patient who recently traveled to Texas from North Carolina, USA. Rick was diagnosed with Keratoconus 19 years ago. He happily relates his life-changing fitting outcome, describing how his Laserfit sclerals compare to other lenses worn previously. Thank you, Rick, for so candidly sharing your experience. It was an absolute pleasure meeting you!
Best wishes to everyone dealing with Keratoconus
May god bless you 🙏🏽
Thank you 😊
Thank u
Thank you so much!!!😊
Thank you
I too am 45 and was diagnosed with kt about 20 some odd years ago. I've been using scleral lenses for the past 10 years and good lord have they made a difference in my life. My left eye was brought to 20/20 and my right to 20/40. Super crisp, sharp, comfortable excellent vision for a constant 12-14 hrs straight. I am a professional driver and definitly would not be doing what I love if not for sclerals.
They do come with a caviat though; you have to find an optomologist that specializes and doesn't "give up" on you until the detailed fitting is precise. Also, proper insertion/removal is paramount to success with them. It takes a while to get it just right. And finally extreme cleanliness and hygene when handling, cleaning and storing them is crucial. Hope this helps folks...they are heaven sent.
Yes
Thanks
Hey all, were not alone with this condition. It does help to speak to others who also suffer with Keratoconus and get help/undestanding how it affects everone so differently.
There are forums and also FaceBook groups you can join and get so much help and answers from people in the same situation. Were all here for eachother!
Keep well 👍
I was diagnosed in 2011, and was told it is advanced keratoconus. My Opthamologist recommended the corneal transplant after the irritating try of soft and hard contacts lenses😓 my right eye was performed on, my vision was almost 20/20 BUT once the stitches came off 1 year later my vision changed, not as bad as the beginning but I had the option now to wear glasses. The process has put me off the do my left eye but today it has come to that point because my eye test for driving has put me under the accepted line😔 Optometrist says my prescription for my eye has changed🤦🏻♂️ its pretty stressful. All the best to everyone.
Diagnosed with Keratoconus in 1992. Now almost 2021, I've been wearing RGP lenses, now the synergize rgp with soft skirt, and cannot remember a time I've seen clearly. Every-single-day has been a constant irritation/struggle with this. Baseball after H.S. was squashed, job opportunities lost, and have never seen My daughter's face with normal vision. I will be checking into this treatment. Hopefully, it can be afforded. Almost 30yrs of this painful annoyance. Congratulations to all that escape this! Salute
Try scieral lens
@@dipeshrao8675 Got some on the way. Test fitting was a entire world of difference. I can't wait. Salute
@@BangChief_AllIsOne I am also suffering from keratoconus I am using scierals
@@dipeshrao8675 Salute Bradda
Did it the lens work for u?
I am dealing with keratoconus as well and I would have never thought I would be dealing with something like this. I literally am just giving this situation over to God and pleading the blood of Jesus over my eyes because that is the most powerful solution♥️
Amen
Have had KC for 20 years, have done intacts plus c3r, have been wearing scleral lenses for a few years and I am pretty happy.
I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS PLZ:
HOW MUCH DOES THESE SCLEAL LENSE COST
HOW OFEN YOU NEED TO REPLACE IT
CAN U SLEEP WITH IT
CAN U ORDER THEM OR U NEED TO THE CLINIC
THANK U
@@F13TUN My insurance covers the lenses because they are considered medically necessary. i do not sleep with them.
@@F13TUN you have to go to the clinic.
is it fixing ur vision or stopping kc to get worse?
@@dannygutierrez7824 Lenses don’t stop anything, they only make your’e vision better.
i am 15 and and suffering from moderate keratoconus in the right eye.I just went through the c3r procedure.Its been about two months i can see perfectly fine (majorly because of my normal left eye which netralizes the right eye)now hope this goes well even later in life.My hopes are with you guys
I'm sorry to hear bud. Hope things are easy for u
I am 16, I suffer from the same thing, as the condition has developed greatly in my right eye. I can see normally, although it tires my left eye. I have recently undergone a procedure called cross linking. It stops the growth of keratoconus, I actually feel a lot more sure on my sight, now that the condition has stopped.
@Gamer 3120 hi buddy may I know how are you doing with the c3r procedure done on your right eye. Did it improve your vision or you have any complications due to that procedure.
Thank you
@@Wcduc how are you doing brother after c3r.
@@parkashparkash3053 hi my right eye is perfectly fine now. This procedure doesent really improve your eyesight but stops your keratoconus from progressing. my vision from my right eye did improve a little but not much. Also it was uncomfortable only for the first week but now it's completely normal like before
I was diagnosed with Keratoconus in 1995 when I was 17. I’ve been thru two corneal surgeries, wore RGP lenses for a majority of the time and most recently the synergize hybrid lens. One suggestion I have is to replace your lenses once a year. I didn’t do that due to the cost. Now I’m suffering with corneal abrasions. It’s the worst! Light is painful and my eyes burn and are red. I’m a teacher so I’m virtually looking at a screen for 8 hours. I’m now waiting on a new set of lenses. Until then I’ll just bare my day then remove the lenses right at 4 pm. It stagnates your life; I get it. There’s always the possibility that you’ll have to have continuous transplants due to the scratching of the cornea. Do replace your lenses once a year. I couldn’t do it at $750 a pop but now I wish I did.
So glad for you!
M a patient myself.
Me to saving now for this or c3r then this
i also have Keratokonus,i cant focus my sight when learning,or playing on my pc the image keeps zooming in and out,it is very bad,some times i just wanna poke my eyes out and be done with it
Same
My name is Michael im 19years old from Nigeria and I have been diagnosed with keratokonous on both eyes, i have used glasses for a few years now and i just got back from my doctor this morning and the news I got was heartbreaking cause my left eye is extremely damaged reading -23 and my right eye reads -15, i now see multiple artifacts like double visioned and ghosting, this has affected me in all areas of my life especially in school and in my sport life I dont know what to do I can't recognise my own mother from 5feet away and I just got released from my club cause I couldn't see vary well on the pitch, all I can see with my left eye are double images and can't also recognise anyone for 4-5feet away, this gave me hope that I can get a better vision and be able to share my testimony Goodluck to everyone diagnosed with keratokonous God help us all I truly wish I could meet and talk to someone who has this same struggle I would be extremely happy and hopeful
Same story here I think my doctor said I don’t qualify for sclera lenses idk 🤷🏻♂️ I want to try them the rgp lenses hurt so bad
dr. I'm from kerala india😭... I'm a keratoconus patient 🥺🥺🥺.... please help me😭😭😭😭😭......after c3r surgery i feel progressing vision blurring what can i do😭😭😭😭😭😭sirrrrrr please help 😭.....'d Can a person with keratoconus lose their eyesight again after doing C3R?
How is your vision now brother?
I wish I could, I can’t afford treatment unless it’s with my hmo insurance. I have a severe case on both eyes. And I can’t look people in the eyes for more than a couple seconds
Me to man shit sucks .I’m trying to save up now for it .good luck man hope you get it fixed
@@dankmanreviews7710 likewise
I cant see anything without squinting this sucks so bad I wanna cry:(
Sir I am morthen 5 year kerecto coness patient.....can u tell me what is the treatment for normal wishwell....?
Lemme confirm you if you are from india.
What was his vision at before the lenses?
do you guys work with tricare?
I am 28 and had C3R in 2012 & 2013 of both eyes. Used rgp lenses for 5 years. Had to stop due to continuous irritation and redness.
Are these scleral lenses permanent or we have to do the same procedure which we do for rgp lens. And how much is the cost for the operation. Are they serving worldwide or in America only
Pls suggest
In my country (Norway) everything medically needed is free (including lenses), unless you choose a private hospital. Good luck if you’re like in America or something.
What does this cost and what's the name of the hospital
I live with keratoconus for 15 years now. Waiting for a cure and not mentally ready for transplants. Lenses can help only in the early stages, but later on they will harm more.
Try scleral lense. That is what I have now. It does not sit on top of ya cornea like the hybrid or rgp lenses. Very comfortable. Ask ya Dr about them.
Have none of you actually stopped the growth of keratoconus through surgery? I guess if you’re over 20 it has already finished ruining you’re sight. Best of luck, my surgery is tomorrow.
@@yaaamoateng4210 thank you for the reply. will do. but 10 years ago they were too expensive to make. i will check if pricing changed.
@@Wcduc best of luck to you during the surgery. im 32 but today keratoconus can effect ppl after 40 as well. i know a person who got diagnosed in 46. his sight was perfect before 45.
@@Wcduc Goodluck to you. I pray everything works out for you. 🙏 🙏
How do I get in touch with Laserfit please
We need more then just these lenses but anything is worth a shot how expensive is this place
Hey im from jamaica and these lens cost 1200us here without insurance.

Hi have you researched a dr in your area who can do topographic guided ablation with CxL? They would have to redo the CXL but it will correct your vision!
@@breklein3338 I already did cxl in both eyes . But after it there is no stability in my vision . My vision was decreasing day by day .
sng star I am so sorry u may need it again! Did u get it done epi on or epi off
@@breklein3338 is it possible cxl for second time ?
And sorry I don't know about epi .
@@nihar4140 what do u use for betterment....there are special lenses to keretoconus patients......try them
