Cornea Has Changed Shape Due to Contact Lenses Posted: 04-04-05 15:23pm
Im a 29 year old male who wears hard
contacts.Six months ago my vision became
blurry and I went to see my eye doctor.She
told me that my cornea had changed shape
due to my hard contacts.She told me that
this is a common condition in hard contact
lens wearers and she changed my
prescription to accomidate my slight loss
of vision.Now im worried about losing more
of my vision.Can anyone help me with this?

My Eyes Are Fine Posted: 05-13-05 12:29pm
This is my response to my own post.I
visited an opthimologist and he told me
my eyes are perfectly ok.He also informed
me that there is a surgical procedure
which will improve my eyesight and I will
no longer have to wear contacts!This was
wonderful news to me.I was terribly
worried about my vision loss but the
doctor told me that its common for the
cornea to change shape to acommidate the
hard contact lens,which is much harder
than the eye.I feel much better,and am
going to have the surgery in the fall.Im
hoping to have 20 20 vision someday.

I used to wear soft contacts and even then
your cornea shape changes. (that is the
only reason why you can't wear your
contacts 2 weeks before the surgery,
because they change the shape of your
eye)
i had the surgery almost a year ago and
i'm very pleased with the results. If
you qualify for surgery, go for it. Best
wishes.
