Contact Lens Woes

Thought as this blog is about me I might as well fess up to being a a myopic old bat with Advanced Kerataconus.
The company that make the only lens that works in my right eye.......... dont make it anymore so I am having to go through the hell of the Dark Art of lens fitting all over again.
I just got back from the first Lens Fitting (I lie I had a Cup of Tea first).

I have had an hour or so of trying out various fittings of Synergeyes lenses. I am guessing they are ClearKone as I have to fill the lens with saline to put it in.

As usual an hour of putting in lenses taking them out and shining lights in my eyes has driven me close to large bars of chocolate.

They are so new to my practitioner that she was double checking the fit in the instruction book now if she had gotten me a copy I could have memorised it and helped her out!! At least after we had muddled our way through crowbarring the first fit into my eye (my description not hers) by the time I left having inserted fit 4 or was it 3 I lost track I wacked it in first go.
Big thumbs up for Bill who waited outside and had been off and bought me a tube of smarties for when I came out. At my age fancy getting bought smarties for being a good girl.

Now we wait for 3 weeks for the order to come in from the States!!

Meanwhile I have been supplied a larger Scleral lens for my left eye which is like trying to stuff a bone china teacup under your eyelids. I am taking some time to get used to it and I cant use alcohol as internal medicine as I cant mix booze with some tablets I take.
Hey Ho at least I have decided to make November Quiche month - pastry anyone ??
