If you are struggling with keratoconus[1], then you are likely in need of an alternative to standard soft contact lenses. While soft lenses can provide a great deal of both comfort and visual acuity for people with a wide range of vision impairments, they are not ideal for keratoconus, a condition characterized by the thinning and deformation of the corneas in both eyes. As the corneas thin, they start to bulge or protrude outward in a cone-like shape. This conical shape affects how the cornea refracts light, which can result in blurred or distorted vision. Because regular soft contacts sit on the corneal surface itself, corneal irregularities make it difficult—and often impossible—to achieve optimal fit and adequate vision correction for keratoconus patients. Fortunately, if you have keratoconus, other options can deliver a far better visual correction for your condition.
