Soft contacts don't cause keratoconus, but they aren't much good at helping you see if you do have keratoconus. In keratoconus, your cornea is irregularly shaped, so glasses and soft contacts do a poor job of providing clear vision. Someone should try to fit you in rigid contact lenses. With a rigid lens, the front of the lens essentially becomes the front of your eye, and since the rigid lens is not irregular, it provides fairly clear vision. Over time, your cornea may scar if the keratoconus progresses. The scarring is what would necessitate the corneal transplant. However, you may never need a transplant. Good luck. |
