I put my lens on at noon, at 1;00 p.m one of the lenses cracked right in the hard part of the lens, very scary and I agree, I think my eyes ached because no oxygen. FInally my doctor is fitting me with rgp, they feel so much better, I think dr's get a cut back or something on those hybrid lens.

I have had no luck trying to find a contact lens to work. I am also frustrated because I feel that the intacs made my vision worse. My astigmatism improved quite a bit, but my vision is awful. I have tried every contact but the Jupiter lens and from what I am reading, the Jupiter lens may not be the answer either. I have to call my eye doctor by Tuesday to let him know if I want to try that lens or not. I'm thinking my only option right now is the corneal transplant.

I went to a normal Optometrist who also has me coming back every week for months trying to get a pair of RGP's that I could wear without falling out or hurting. He was unsuccessful. After soem research on the internet I found a specialist Optometrist who specializes in KC This guy was amazing. Within 2 visits I had the perfect 'softperm' lenses and have been wearing the same pair for 3 years. I today jsut recieved my first synergeyes. Not sure if it is the perfect fit yet as I go back to my optometrist on Friday. Some Optometrists 'think' they know how to fit contacts but they actually don't. A correct fitting contact should NOT fall out. Lynn Hi,

Thr synergeyes lenses actually got stuck to my eyes. I went to a local hospital to have them removed with no sucess. I stayed awake all night and went to an eye specialist the next morning. It took 4 hours to remove the last lense. Recently, I had the intac insertion in one eye. The hard lense has not been easy to adjust to. The one in the left eye popped and I lost it and the one for the right eye got caught on the intac and broke. I'm in the process of having them replaced. Your last post was in 2009. I'm hoping that is indication that you've found sucess and moved on. Could you post or send an update of your condition. Thanks, Donny I was diagnosed a year ago.

I live in Boston and have found someone that has been doing this for over 20 years and is now fitting me for the hybrid hard lensses that have soft rims and hard middles. Please read how to take care of your lenses on the kerat site and only use boston simplus, not advanced solution. and do not ever rub your eyes after you take them out at night or you will scratch you cornea and make it very painfull when you wear them. I can get you my docs name if you have any questions. take care I too suffer form this.

It's a very simple system, and once the automatic neutralization process is over, all that's left is saline solution which doesn't irritate your eye like the typical "multipurpose" solution can (due to the disinfecting chemicals.)
