However, I could not tolerate wearing these lenses. This usually begins in the teens or early twenties and affects mostly males. And one eye is usually worse than the other eye. It is also oftentimes familial, so alert other family members to get their eyes checked. As the cornea thins and bulges, it becomes distorted and even droopy, creating blurred vision that is not very correctable with glasses.
Contact lenses can kind of give the eye a new, smoother front that focuses light properly.
Rigid gas permeable lenses are my first choice, and they usually can be prescribed successfully. There are a number of fitting designs that can be tried before turning to other options. Before you give up on RGPs, ask your practitioner if he or she can try the Rose K design on you. Another possibility is a reverse curve RGP design. If RGPs simply will not work, there is another lens called the SoftPerm, manufactured and sold by Wesley Jessen, that is a combination RGP and soft lens.
