Keratoconus

2018-07-02 13:28:32
I am 20/M. I was diagnosed with keratoconus in left eye 10 years ago. CXR was done 6 years ago but it didn't stopped my keratoconus. 4 years ago Lamellar keratoplasty was done. After surgery I got +7 cylindrical. Now I want to use contact lens for that. My query is - Do I have to use rgp lens or I can go for soft lens.

Ego lens will be better  but you can use soft toric lens also.
