Anyone having trouble wearing schleral lenses after conjunctival chalasis surgery on upper eye? I am having severe burning 4 months after…?

So, I have been a scleral lens wearer for 4-5 months. Had stopped it later as I wasn't able to wear them comfortably for more than 2 hours.
Post some investigations I was put on DMARDs(Disease-modifying antirheumatic drug) and cyclosporine little later.

A little after starting DMARDs...

Hi! I'm in the middle of getting fitted with sclerals for my chronic dry eye. I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced clouding/fogging after an unreasonably short amount of time, about 30 minutes on average, making the lens essentially unwearable.

I've already tried 3 fittings...

Hi! I had undergone Radial Keratotomy about 25 yrs ago. Since the last 6-7 years, I started having unclear morning vision, which improved as the day wore on. The problem went increasing, and now I have somewhat blurred and unclear vision throughout the day.

I recently found the answer to...

After 5-6 hours after insertion, my lenses get really dirty and need to be removed/cleaned/re-inserted. But this time, they'll only last 3 hours. After cleaning again, they'll only last 2... you get the idea. It's frustrating to have to clean them 3-5x during the day.

I was considering...

Hi all,

As a fellow specialty contact lens wearer, I'm interested to hear other people's experiences they've had. I was diagnosed with keratoconus ~5 years ago, and 3 years ago I switched from glasses into scleral lenses. I wore sclerals for ~2 years, and then switched eye doctors and got...

Hi. I am just wondering how to open amidose. The instruction says that I need to cut the top of the vial preferably with "a sterile instrument"... May anyone using amidose please tell me some specific practical ways to open amidose? Thanks.

Hi. I live in England and got my pair of scleral lens from Dr. Ken Pullum. He suggested me use Lens Plus Ocupure to fill in my scleral lens before inserting them with my right hand.

This works generally well but when I attempt to switch to some preservative-free solution, it tend to...

I was here for awhile and went away to continue my own journey to find relief. I'm sorry to say after many different treatments I have had no relief. Like many of you, my dry eyes are the most difficult thing in my life.

Now here is the thing that confuses me. I've read a lot about...

I was shopping pricing out some plungers and I came across inserter plungers that are made out of silicone instead of rubber. They look the same, but thinner (and say "thin walls for easier squeezing"). And they are cheaper. Has anyone tried these?

Also, what do you use...
