Well It's been a whiole since I've asked for advice. I was fitted for a lense and all has wemt well since. I have Cerebral Palsy that affects my left side,and the lense was fitted for the left. i usually leave the lense in for longer than recommended and ask someone for help taking it out. What I am nervous about is the fact that I'm 6 1/2 months and don't know if my baby will have KC. My next appointment isn't until next month and I also don't know if they're going to discuss what can or can't be done for the right eye. A corneal transplant is what they recommended at the last appointment if I wasn't ok with being able to see better out of the one lense. Any suggestions, advice, all replies welcomed.
