Hi,
so after having tried out basically all the other standard approaches I will visit a clinic in germany soon where they work with sceral lenses.
The thing is, I'm projecting a big amount of hope into these. Why is that? Well, before I had even heard about them I thought to myself: " Wouldn't it be the greatest thing if in the future some kind of artifical layer for your eyes will be developed that simply makes it irrelevant if your eyes can't produce the right liquids on their own? Then, a few months later, I read about scleral lenses. And I was a bit blown away. To be honest, a special contact lense with some kind of artificial tears (or what is it) under it isn't completely what I had imagined but still: It makes so much sense to adress the problem of having dry eyes by just putting some kind of layer on the eye.
So, my question is: How much did it help you? Or are there any studies about the effects of scleral lenses on dry-eye-syndrom?
Currently, for example I struggle to read. It' possible but not enjoyable. I used to love reading novels, by now, I mainly read non-fiction books because with my eye-problems I don't really get drawn into ficitional stories anymore. I would be so thankful for again being able to sink into a story again without remembering reality all the time because my eyes hurt, are photophobic or just because I actively have to pay attention to blink since they get dry otherwise. The same goes for walking around in the sunshine without caring about my eyes and many other things...Could scleral lenses achieve that for me?
Thansk in advance for all your answers!
