Lens for keratoconus

2017-08-13 06:38:42
I am a keratoconus patient.. have gone through C3R in both eyes almost 6 years ago. Currently during my routine check up I have been advised to take Rose K contact lenses for vision correctness. Is it safe to take contact lenses in keratoconus eyes? Is it advisable by doctors? Just in case to avoid any kind of external injury to the eyes because of contact lenses.

It's safe to use Rose - k lenses. These are routinely given to keratoconus patients. Though you  should get regular check ups at an interval of three months.
