Keretoconous - RGP -C3R
Here is the history -- I have keratoconus since 5 years. I had c3r done on left eye on 4 April 2016 and on right eye on 28th April, 2016. I was suggested to use RGP lenses and I got my first pair on 3 june 2016 . Query -- It's been 7 days I'm wearing these lenses and the irritation is somewhat reduced but their's constant itchiness and my eyes are always watery. Whenever I go outside wearing them, my eyes becomes too watery. On the fourth day I wore them for 7 hours and that was the maximum but after around 2 hours I start feeling the irritation looking down is the most comfortable posture for me. Questions-- Is it normal ? How much time will it to become a bit comfortable (no itchiness and weeping eyes ) Should I go for other advanced lenses this soon ? Is one month period gap after c3r enough for my fight eye to adjust these lenses ? Will my wearing lenses at this stage have any effect on my corneal stabilisation? Desperate for 2nd opinion

Hello We usually prescribe RGP lenses after 6 months as cornea stabilises after 6 months of C3R. This irritation could be due to poor fitting of lens. I would recommend to wait for 6 months before starting using contact lenses

Using RGP lenses after keratoconus surgery, you should always be in contact of your eye specialist. Consult him again. He is your best judge.
